Exactly 3 weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine, I was at Birmingham Airport where I filmed this rare Boeing 777200ER of the Russian airline Red Wings taking off. Of course, I wasn''t to know this would be the last time filming a Russian registered aircraft in the UK for, well, who knows how long. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this terrible war. What was the last Russian jet you saw in the UK? Let me know in the comments below!

Red Wings Airlines is a Russian regional leisure airline based at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport, providing both scheduled passenger and cargo services. This particular flight was a cargo charter, and was departing to Zhukovsky Airport (ZIA/UUBW) as RWZ8828. The aircraft is a 25 year old Boeing 77721HER, registration VPBSJ, originally delivered to Emirates back in 1997. ✈

This departure includes full ATC (Air Traffic Control) communications.
