<p>The Ilyushin IL-38 was one the highlights at Fairford in July 1996. It's appearance was reason enough to cross the North Sea; all other aircraft were bonus!
</p><p>In Russia the aircraft is called Dolphin, NATO calls it May. 
</p><p>I've uploaded this photo so you can compare the cockpit with that of the Lockheed P-3 Orion.

Only 58 IL-38s were built versus 757 P-3 Orions.
