Does Duxford have a TU-95 Bear?
Not sure who else in Cambridgeshire would possibly be selling this.

Duxford doesn't have a Tu.95. Indeed there isn't one in the UK anywhere.

The one on eBay is actually in Russia ... imagine the postage costs on that!

I think my postie might have trouble getting that through the postbox ... :))

Russian Military (www.russianmilitary.co.uk) is a company based in Cambridge. A good friend of mine deals with them several times a year as he buys Gaz trucks and a whole host of other Russian, Slovak, Ukraine Military stuff! They are a legitimate and good company that he has been dealing with for years without problems.

Have a look at the website, lots of other tasty items for sale including a Mig-21 :D

Well it's not there, that's for sure. It's in Russia, as I said.

The company is based in Cambridge.

As i said before, there are no Tu.95s in the UK.

That makes more sense. Looks like they've put the company location instead of the Item location.
Other item info
Item number: 300471828159
Item location: Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom
Post to: United Kingdom


Mig21 looks so so so so so nice!!! I wander if Bruntingthorpe wants a new toy to play with?
