Novosibirsk 1
The group left Heathrow on Wed 2nd July at 13:30 and travelled to Novosibirsk, the regional capital, via Moscow arriving at 09:00 next morning.
1. The flight from Moscow to Novosibirsk was on a Soviet era IL86.
2. On arrival most of us slept for most of a city tour before being taken to the railway museum.
3. Tractors based on American designs played a key role in opening up Siberia in the 1930s.
4. This rocket launcher is exactly the same age as me.
