Definately an Il-62, but can't quite figure out if it's an Aeroflot though. It has the 2 blue lines along the fuselage that Aeroflot had, along with the rego number on the wings and the bottom of the tail. But all Aeroflot Il-62's at the time, as far as I can tell, had a blue rudder, which this one doesn't have. The text on the fuselage doesn't fit in with the Aeroflot positioning either. I know United Arab Airlines/ EgyptAir were using almost identical Il-62's but they too had the blue rudder
Yes definitely an IL62 - not so much because of the thrust reversers on outer engines as this was a feature of most VC10s - only the prototype had inner and outer ones. For me the give aways are the wing flaps - the VC10 has very distinctive and massive wing flaps. and the lack of the 'beaver tail' fairing betweent the jet pipes which is a characteristic of the VC10s - which I still see flying every day over the road from me!
It's an IL-62; it only had reversers on the outside engines, and that tip-over tailwheel would retract halfway into the fuselage, and you can see it if you keep your eyes on the rear fuselage area, reight to the left of the mainwheel. Pause at 0:49 and it will be clear.

HAHA...love the last minute where the flight crew are focused in on the female traveller...professionalism takes a break.
But the Swissair CV990, Lufthansa 707 and Aer Lingus 720 just stole the show!
Way to go mcdonnell220!
