Our Russian-based travelling correspondent, Igor Kolokolov, found these two Beriev Be-103's together at the 2012 Gidroaviasalon Show. This show is held each year and features all the Beriev water-borne amphibian types as well as others. This show has been on my 'must visit' list for years! Grateful thanks to Igor for once again providing first-class reference material for us to share.

Here is another nicely shot walk-round of this most unusual amphibian design from Beriev, in a particularly colourful paint scheme which would make a nice scale model, if only someone would release a 1/72 scale kit!.
