Poland 20th - 24th January 2016 Day 5

Our final day had arrived, and a busy one it was. Seventeen destinations planned for the day. Not too bad except for the 1800 departure from Katowice to consider. Still, we made it in plenty of time and had a few hours to spare a Katowice. Not the best place in the world to sit at, unless you need some Wizz Air! Oh yeah, we live in Luton :-(

Still, onwards and what better way to start the day... a MiG-21.

Next up yet another Mi-2

Round the corner for a Sukey.

We almost missed the next Mi-2, the GPS co-ords we had were a building site and after a few minutes of exploring we assumed it was gone. After setting course on the sat-nav for the next stop we headed up the nearby slip road and voila! There was the Mi...at these co-ords 50.232154, 19.115800 

Myslowice 24-1-16
4512 Mil Mi-2 RL 554512125 Polish Air Force

After convincing the sat-nav that some roads were closed we eventually got to Muchowiec. The security guard spoke no English, but after a few hand gestures of camera clicking he got the message and let us wander around. A few were parked outside and a few more were squinnied.

Not far away yet another Mi-2, this one had us going too, until we found an opening leading into the compound.

Two MiG's in a row next, I'll never get tired of hunting these down!

Chorzow 24-1-16
After a long walk through the park and surrounding roads we gave up on this MiG-21. We thought we saw what looked like a Mig tail, but was unsure. It appears this one has actually moved on to somewhere else. Next time fella, we'll find ya!

Zabrze 24-1-16
The Iskra from here was nowhere to be seen. It could have been inside but the place was deserted. We had a good walk around all of the tanks etc...but sadly no sign of it.

UPDATE: The Iskra has moved on to Zehdenick, Germany (Andy Marden)

Onward to Gliwice, where another MiG would find it's way into the log. The GA part was all locked up, nobody about.

A down side to sat-nav co-ords here. The faithful old Tom took us into the nearby estate of houses. It was hard to tell in the thick snow, but I'm pretty sure we ended up doing a three point turn in someones back garden! We eventually realised the offending Lim was in the park!

A great few days in Poland, 57 new Mikoyan's for the logs and another 28 Mil Mi's to boot! Plus of course loads of other little gems...

Can't wait to get back in March...:-)

From here we headed into town for a tethered balloon, but this seems to have gone.

On to the main event...although the temperature was minus 11 degrees we barely felt it as we took in the splendor of the museum. That and it had warmed up from the mornings minus 17 degrees!

An excellent museum and well worth the visit. The next stop was a rare (for this trip) GA field.

Over to Balice, not much happening on the civvy side. The military ramps however were packed. We managed to read all of the Casa's, but at least another 5 M-28's and a few Mi-8's went begging.

Another day completed, very pleased with the museum and some extra quality stuff as well, not to mention filling in some gaps on Polish Casa's!

Back to the Hotel Wilga for our final night.

On to Leznica, plenty out on the field although most were unreadable. We managed to catch a few flying and logged the GIA's etc...
There were two Mi-8's out on the ramp stored. Due to the positioning only the first digit was readable.
