Polish AF Copters at Duxford – 19Sep09

Quick morning visit to Duxford, before the sun came out unfortunately, to catch the B-17 departing for Belgium and the Polish AF exhibits for Helitech were an added bonus.

Hi Steve,

I was at the Krakow Museum a fortnight ago and that photo showing the Mig-19s is quite spooky. Seeing a line-up like that makes you realise just what a problem the West would have had if things had turned “hot”, especially as the line-up would have been reproduced in the other Warsaw Pact countries.
Incidentally the admission fee to the Museum is 5 zloty, about £1.10 and apart from an almost complete selection of Polish gliders it has a Yak 17 and a Yak 23 which were the oldest Soviet jets I’ve seen. Sorry to hi-jack the thread.
