I hate to quote one of my own posts but I absolutely love this photo, is he not the epitome of the "Let's get it done" guy we all know? I'm guessing he's an NAA employee but could be wrong. Got his coveralls and maintenance cap on, the glare he's giving looks like it could down a Messerschmidt and the casual arm resting out the window... classic awesome in my book. I can just about hear him tell the second looie in the right seat to "Take some notes sonny, we're takin' this rig out for a little spin". And the guy in the right seat looks pensive to say the least.

OK, but Leningrad? Black Sea? Pre June 22 '41?
As memo serves the caption said something about the Ukraine. So it would be the Black Sea. Perhaps the Sevastopol. The pic was dated on 1941 and seems to be taken by Germans. There is some debris around and the submarines look lik being abandoned and damaged while being not finished yet.
Therefore the post June 1941 seems to be very likely.

Thank you
I have scant knowledge of soviet industrial base so I am always curious about what was made where and when

Ouch!
Wiki says the subs 'scuttled' at Nikolayev Aug 15 1941.

I hope it's right photo. Imperial Iranian Air Force soviet built Policarpov R5 Reconnaissance / light bomber . Also have a look at "Lennart Andersson: Iranian Eagles-Civil and Military Aviation in Iran 1924-1949" .
