It's 132 years since the Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky wrote his famous orchestral work "Pictures at an Exhbition" (a simple version of which you can listen to here - isn't that neat) and he had very different images in mind from the ones that we've just put on display in Moscow.
The photographs that we are exhibiting with our partners Domodedovo International Airport might better inspire a composer such as Sir William Walton who composed my favourite theme in the movie Battle of Britain.
What we've done is take about 30 Flight International covers dating back to 1909 and put them on display in the elegant surroundings of the international departures hall at Domodedovo. The work was commissioned by East Line Group-owned Domodedovo and I was enormously privileged to travel to Moscow to open it with the airport's deputy director general Alexei Raevsky.
My good friends in Domodedovo's PR department - director Anna Krasnova and manager Vladimir Gushchin - did a wonderful job of putting the whole thing together and it looks superb. I arrived to find that they had created a very nice catalogue, hired musicians, and rustled up a 30-strong audience from Moscow's aviation, travel and media community for a champagne opening. Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday morning.
Should you happen to travel through Domodedovo in the next two months then I very much hope you'll take a look at it. And we're looking at possibilities for relocating it afterwards.
Here are some pictures of the exhibition and ceremony.

Just wanted to point out that the first photo looks a bit more Airbus than 737!
