Going through some old photos, came across this Aeroflot scheme which I had forgotten. Picture must have been taken 1993. F-OGQS delivered in Dec 1992 and crashed 23 March 1994. I do not recall whether the other A310's at the time were painted similar or if this was unique.
I think it looks quite good with the Russian Imperial Eagle.

Re: Old Aeroflot scheme
Hi Pete,
Good catch that one, I believe the crash was due to the aircraft commander allowing his son and daughter on the flight deck, seated at the controls, whilst in cruise flight. One of the children
accidentally dis-engaged the autopilot and the aircraft entered a steep ( near vertical dive ) and crashed into the Kuznetsk Mountain range, killing 63 pax & 12 crew
The 310's I think were a mix of this scheme and the the grey / white scheme
Cheers Adrian
