Dimitri Samborski: 'more precise "did not complete", but now already late because the criteria of quality grew'
and
Another expert on the matter: 'Them also, as An-12,24,26 there were many versions, for the export with export avionics, and those that they were produced for Russia they differed little from An-26, but since An-32 in essence for the export they made, then avionics in the majority of copies is not standard.'
Dimitri probably won't make it although he has a start (but doesn't seem to be willing to give the source to someone else)
And the rest is complaining about the panel layout, most of these went to India (main export market), Africa and South America so there are loads of different variants.
Still it would be nice to have the An-24 with twice the engine power...
