On AB-IX some more information
“The aircraft was delivered to Novosibirsk from the Chita region employees
«Aviarestavratsiya». The aircraft was transporting goods after the war and
made a forced landing in the Sayan Mountains.”

Looking at the pictures from the older post, I was wondering: whats with the hand rail on the port side of the fuselage?
On the starboard i can understand it, as that way over the wing leads to a door, but the port side has no door.
Surely its not for ease of maintenance (that would be a first).
BTW it looks in pretty good condition considering.

What an extraordinary find.
I can’t seem to locate an airfield called Evinsino anywhere in Russia, could someone post some details?
