I think I know exactly where this photo was taken and I reckon its the B&Q DIY shop carpark in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England (the fat chick in the black leggings gave it away)

This is a picture of the soviet union's most famous, most decorated, most respected aircraft designer of all time, Adrei Tupolev. he's the guy who reverse-engineered the B-29 but never quite got it right, especially the engines which were reported to be under-powered and prone to failure:

This is Robert Ludvigovich Bartini, he's the guy who designed that POS flying boat that liked to suck sea water into it's engines and fail.
He was lucky and only spent 8 years in prison, but was basically under guard like house arrest for a considerable portion of his life. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1367428191.jpg |

The MiG 21 is another couldn't-be-much-uglier Soviet plane. Just look at those proportions and shapes. Does it look like it came from a drawing done by an eight year old kid or what?

It looks like those MIG designers fortunately were able to escape Soviet Russia and got jobs at GM designing Cadillacs.

My favorite old Soviet plane is the 15/17 design. I think they had some good looking birds. Not all, but some. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...05_airshow.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...9_missiles.jpg Even though it is Czech, I want to include this one because it was developed when Czechoslovakia was still a Soviet satellite country. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._Race_-58_.jpg |
