Concordski!
I went to the Russian Aviation Museum out of town in Monino today. Whereas I'd read they need to know in advance that you're coming and take passport details actually you just need to turn up; the Russians here as in so many of their museums have twigged that they should at least foreign tourists in while it requires little effort on their part yet they can extort vast quantities of cash when they turn. And indeed that's what they did! For Russians entry is 50 roubles (1 quid) for muggins Johnny Foreigner here it's 350 roubles plus 200 roubles for taking photos (which is half the reason for going to be honest).
And thus 10 quid lighter of pocket there I was browsing the offerings. One of the main reasons I made the trip was to see "Concordski" - Tupolev 144 which was based on stolen designs of our own beloved Concorde. Not as nice looking as ours I think you'll agree. I think they had a few of them in service for a while, but they were withdrawn long before ours.
