The An-12 first flew in December 1957 and was initially used as a military transporter. With a range of 6,000km, it became the mainstay of the Soviet Union military transport aviation. It was later adopted by various cargo carriers across the globe. Production of the type ended in 1972 after 1,243 airframes, with 30 different variants, had been built.

SNAPSHOT FROM CHINA​

SNAPSHOT CHAIN
The People’s Republic of China – one of the final frontiers for aviation enthusiasts – began to open up in the 1980s as organised tours became available. Robbie Shaw headed behind the Bamboo Curtain in 1987 to discover the fascinating variety of aircraft on offer.

Stunningly shiny Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) Ilyushin Il-18E B-216 is parked at Chengdu on May 28, 1987. It is now preserved in the city but carries China Southwest Airlines colours.

Ilyushin Il-14 623, resplendent in a bare-metal livery, was parked at Hefei in Anhui Province on May 7. It survived into the 1990s when it was noted flying for China General Aviation.

Another Il-14, 662, painted in CAAC’s more modern white and grey colours, was also seen at Hefei on the same day.

Civil Aviation Administration of China was one of only a very few airlines to order factory-built Hawker Siddeley Tridents. Series 2 B-2205 takes off from Hongqiao on May 4.

The Xian Y-7 was a Chinese-built airliner based on the Russian Antonov An-24. CAAC Y-7 B-3459 takes off from Hefei on May 7. It was later operated by China Eastern Airlines.

The Antonov An-30 is a development of the An-24 optimised for aerial cartography. Only 124 were built, including An-30A B-3303 which was flown by CAAC and parked at Chengdu on May 28.

Lisunov Li-2 327 had obviously not flown for a while as its engines were enclosed in covers. The Russian-built Douglas DC-3 copy was at Chengdu on May 28.

Short Brothers of Belfast achieved a breakthrough by selling ten 36-seat 360s to CAAC, a rare experience for Western aircraft manufacturers in the 1980s. B-3603 gets airborne from Shanghai Hongqiao on May 4.

Tupolev Tu-154M B-4001 was built for CAAC and is currently operated by China United Airlines, the transport arm of the People’s Republic of China Air Force. It was photographed landing at Lhasa in Tibet on May 28.
