A mate showed me some photos of this place that he took on a visit to Poland a couple of weeks back this morning (Brought them in to work for me to drool over), from what I saw of them, that place has some very interesting bits and pieces including a number of SAM systems (with Launchers and Radars) and even a Spitfire in RAF (Polish) markings.

To my knowledge they have not had a Spitfire there in the last 50 years. Which is a shame, as there used to be two there, but both were scrapped in early 1950s as ‘examples of imperialist technology’.

It is not advertised at all 🙁
I found it, by just passing by.
Easy to find anyway, very close to one the big bridges crossing the river, I think the most southern one. I can point it on a map if you want.

No, it is not the most southern one. The Museum (Muzeum Wojska Polskiego in Polish, pronounced “Moozeoom Voyska Polskyego”) is located near the Poniatowski Bridge. I am sure every Warsawer would be able to tell you were the MWP is. It is right next to the National Museum for better identification.

tapclassic,
Thanks for posting these pics… I’m going to Warsaw in August and was hoping to visit an aircraft museum while I was there… Is this one easy to find / well advertised? I visited the one in Krakow last year… I’ll post some pics later.
