Ilyushin IL-12 By an order from the Kremlin that a passenger transport be designed and built to replace the Lisunov Li-2 (the licence-built Douglas DC-3) dates from 1943. It fell to the Ilyushin design bureau to produce such a machine and thus was the Il-12 that was born. It made its first flight on 15 August 1945, but by this time it had already been decided that many modifications were needed and the 'new' version took to the skies for the first time on 9 January 1946. It was displayed to the public for the first time at Tushino on 18 August 1946 and almost exactly one year later, on 22 August 1947, the type entered service with Aeroflot. Aeroflot operated at least 338, with others being delivered to non-airline operators. They were used on a large number of domestic routes throughout the late 1940s and the 1950s, some of which were quite remarkable in their length and duration, an example being Moscow-Vladivostok, with a total of nine stops on the way and a flying time of 33 hours. The Il-12 had the distinction of being the first Soviet type to operate scheduled international services to the West when in 1954 it was introduced on services linking Moscow with Stockholm and Paris. Limited exports were achieved, at that time, of course, only to 'friendly' countries, and both Poland and Czechoslovakia took delivery of small fleets for their national airlines starting in 1949. The Romanian government also purchased an Il-12 which eventually saw out its days with Tarom. China was another customer and kept the type in service longer than any other country. Whilst Aeroflot is believed to have withdrawn the type in 1965, the Chinese state airline CAAC was found to be still flying one in 1985, and a group of enthusiasts visiting China in 1987 made the amazing discovery of over twenty military examples stored in a walled compound at Yichang. Production was centred on Factory No. 30 at Moscow-Khodynka (named "Znamya Truda", Banner of Labour). The total number built is 663, which comprised five test aircraft and 658 production models; 183 built in 1947, 258 in 1948 and 217 in 1949. Those Il-12s not destined for Aeroflot or export almost certainly saw service with the Soviet Air Force. The Il-12D assault version which was equipped with 37 canvas seats rather than the normal 27 airline seats. This version could also be equipped to take a 3 tonne load or 16 stretcher cases. There are no extant flying Il-12s. Museum and preserved exhibits can be found at Monino in Russia, Lugansk and near Donetsk in Ukraine and in the China Aviation Museum at Shahezhen AFB (near Beijing). An instructional airframe can also still be found at the Tianjin Technical School. Of the first aircraft built, the five-figure construction number probably indicates the factory number (30) and the sequence number of the aircraft. In 1948, this system was changed to the more common construction number system we know, showing year of manufacture, factory number (30), the batch number and number in the batch. Later in 1948 it seems the system was again changed, showing year of manufacture, factory number (30), additionally an internal product code on the later built versions (izdeliye 1 for the Il-12B and izdeliye 3 for the Il-12D) followed by the batch number and number in the batch. In some cases with both Il-12 and Il-14 the construction number was painted on the leading edge of the wing(s). 663 Il-12 built by MMZ No. 30 "Znamya Truda" ('Banner of Labour') at Moscow-Khodynka from 1947 to 1949 128 913114 OK-53 Av-14T d/d 1959 photo, in natural metal c/s with c/n on the tail; another black and white photo exists, with cheatline and flag on the fin 3114 Av-14T Czechoslovak AF rgd 18may60 on the Czech civil register with this rgd and owner as MNO (Ministry of National Defence); canx 09sep60; f/n preserved at Hrabyne 02sep89, in natural metal c/s; l/n 16aug91; transported to Zruc Airpark, f/n jul95, with '3150' on the nose wheel door; l/n apr08; arrived 18sep09 at the Wattenheim (Golfparkalle 2, Biblis, Hessen, Germany) golf course (N49.680606 E8.4032889), seen aug15, with 'Golf - absolute' on the tail; l/n jul22 www.key.aero/es/article/un-visitante-historico-del-reino-unido-csa-ilyushin-il-12

Thank you for your detailed comment. I am pleased to now know what type of aircraft it is.

Si! Cierto es que es un IL-14 por el tipo de coja que lleva, pero también es cierto que el número 3114 que lleva en el lateral izquierdo trasero y en la rueda de morro , según la información detallada lo sitúa en ese lugar de Alemania como IL-12…!??
