Nice pics, are they being restored somewhere or just sitting in a graveyard?

Really nice shots !. Looks like the Il-14 is a copy of the DC-4 ?.

They're at a sports field just outside Moscow called Myachkovo. It's closed at the moment as they lost their licensing - too many crashes I think. They have a bunch of those An-30's, and a few other interesting bits - most of the airworthy stuff has been moved out now though.

I've seen 3 so far this year! I haven't got the pics here at work though! I saw 2 at Zhukovsky (one of which was the 144D nasa used for a while), and one out at a technical school at Samara's old airport!
I'll dig them out when I get chance (off to the states on wednesday though)

Rockone - it's very similar to a DC-4, with slight differences (tail shape etc.). The Li-2 was a license built DC-3, I guess they went from there!
