5th pic looks like one of those cushion fliers (can't think of the correct name) .If it is were the Russians ahead of the west yet again I remember seeing one being used several years ago on a lake but can't remember where.looked strange going along about 12 inches above the water.

Nearly it was:-
Developed as a sub-sonic analog to a larger orbital vehicle, Aircraft 105-11 was designed to determine stability, controllability and aerodynamic characteristics. The aircraft has a jet engine and could take off and land under its own power. It was also tested by releasing it from a Tu-95 bomber at around an altitude of 5,000m. Aircraft 105-11 flew several times between 1975 and 1978

I think you refer to the Caspian Sea Monster Wing in Ground Efect "Aircraft" or maybe it was a flying ship the Ekranoplan one was 550 tons!

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but there is an ekranoplan surface effect vehicle at Monino, the Beriev VVA-14:





As you can see, the weather was rubbish the day I went. Spent three hours wandering around in the pouring rain getting drenched, but it was heaven. It was over ten years ago now! Here's another oddity:



Sukhanov Discoplane! Sounds like a kind of Russian dance move...

Many of the aircraft have since been painted and spruced up, so they don't look so shabby, but I noticed that corrosion on many of the big ones was a problem. More slides, please...
