Default IL-62M visit YSSY

Going thru some old photos from when I was working airside at YSSY found these photos of an Aeroflot IL-62M that carried the Russian Foreign Minister to Australia. From the background, most likely in the 1980's. Anybody help with a date?

Many thanks.

Noel

H Noel,

I had this shot of LOT IL-62M SP-LBA from back in July 1989. A different visit, but rare just the same.

I remember spotting as a kid when there were scheduled Aeroflot flights out of SYD. I think it was early 90s? The Il62 took a long take off roll to get going, although it wasn't as noisy as I thought it would be. I wish I took pics back then! I just watched..
