Anyway, regardless of which one will be used, there will be Harvard in the Polish Wings - used by the Polish Air Force in Great Britain (as mentioned here: http://www.shipbucket.com/forums/viewto ... 785#p98785 ).
Oh, oops :oops:
I didn't see that, I tried searching for one but got no results. Apologies to Guillermo, but at least they're both pretty similar. If there are no objections, I'd still like to try to draw every operator.

Here is the first batch of Canadian Harvards, starting with examples restored and preserved by the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association (CHAA) of Tillsonburg, Ontario:

Also the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Goldilocks Aerobatic Display Team which formed in 1962 and disbanded shortly after in 1964:

Great work Indiajuliet! :D
Looking forward to see other operators done by You (except Poland :P )!

And now something different. ;)
Note that these Il-18's were actually recently redrawn by me.

One of the most succesful Soviet passenger aircraft, Ilyushin Il-18, was first flown in 1957, initially with (short-lived) sobriquet "Moskva". After a series of trials it was accepted for production as Il-18A, of which some 20 were made. Several of these were later converted into specialized versions including:
-Il-18LL - a flying laboratory for the icing/de-icing research, equipped with a mock "wing" section installed vertically on top of fuselage and a sprinkler installed in front of it for de-icing equipment tests;
-Il-18SL - avionics testbed for Berkut radar of the Il-38 (also an Il-18 derivative, see below).

Next production model was Il-18B, recognizable by new "puffier" nose and 4 pairs of windows in forward passenger cabin. It was produced in series of around 65, including Il-18S VIP version (later models also had VIP versions, but they didn't had separate designations).

Third version, Il-18V, was also the most produced, with 334 being made. It was a basis for a wide variety of specialized variants, including (among others):
-Il-18USh - prototype of the navigator trainer, formally not accepted for series production, though apparently several aircraft were converted to that standard for Aeroflot's use;
-Il-18RT - telemetry retranslation aircraft used for trials of missiles and unmanned air vehicles;
-SL-18V - avionics testbed, used initially for development of Tu-160 strategic bomber, and from late 1980s also for ASW equipment (gaining a MAD detector in tail);
-SL-18I - avionics testbed for radar equipment (including Il-38's Berkut as well as Myech SLAR).

Il-18E was an interim version created due to delays in Il-18D's design, with only around 23 made, with around third of them in VIP version.
Additionaly, one of them was converted into meteorological research aircraft dubbed "Meteor".

Il-18D was an ultimate model of Il-18, upgraded for long-range flights and with higher passenger capacity. Among it's specialized variants were:
-Il-18 Retranslator - for government communications;
-Il-18DORR (Dalny Okeansky Razvedchik Ryby - Long-Ranged Oceanic Fisheries Reconnaissance) - for support of Soviet fishing fleet;
-Il-18D Tsiklon - meteorological research aircraft.

Also some Il-18's were in later stages of their service life converted to cargo versions (usually dubbed Il-18Gr), and there was also a prototype of Il-18T transport version.

Some derivatives of Il-18 received separate designations.
Il-24 (Il-24N) was an ice reconnaissance aircraft with SLAR radar for use on the Soviet Union's far North.

Il-20 was a designation of two, quite different aircraft:
-Il-20M - a military ELINT version;
-Il-20RT - (prototype was designated Il-18SIP or Il-18RTL) a telemetry communications relay aircraft used in Soviet space programme.
[ img ]

Il-22 was (and still is) an airborne command post, designed by Myasishchev bureau and made in two versions: Il-22 Bizon (initial) and Il-22M Zebra.

Il-38, despite high designation number, was one of the earliest Il-18 derivatives, serving as an equivalent of Lockheed P-3 Orion in Soviet/Russian and Indian navies.

Well worth waiting for these. Can you ever top these awesome Soviet super-threads?

Thank You for comments. :)

@Heuhen
What do You mean "too much"? Less than Il-14's, after all... ;)

@Hood
What do You mean with "ever topping these Soviet threads?"

I like to look at one plain at the time, now I have to look at xxx planes. And sometimes I forget that I have seen on that one so I see on it again. thus I have probably seen on thees plains around 100 times. :lol:

Sorry, I had to redo the F/A-18F, the old one was not good enough.
