Day 3 three saw us once again on another
Polish Army base this time

Another big
airfield but more open that yesterdays visit to Leanica, Based here are Mi-2
and Mi-24 plenty of Mi-2,s knocking around but seven of the Mi-24,s were away
on exercise so only four were seen today. We were allowed to sit in a Mi-24
and inspect Mi-2 and W-3 aircraft then we were taken up the control tower for
views over the airfield and some photography, The Polish Army even got a Mi-2
up to "Buzz the Tower" a few times so we could get photos of that flying !.

a single glider which was seen through a window as the hangar was closed

and the last day to come
Back with the
last day Day 4 of our Polish
adventure, We split from the rest of the Staffs group today as
getting back form Gdansk to Poznan which was today's visit would take too long
and with it been a public holiday we decided not to go as traffic we were told
would be very bad. So the plan for the day was W & R and a museum starting at
an early call at

local school is an Iskra

Onwards to Buk
the last of the catch up places we missed last year, The owner is not spotter
friendly so an early morning call secured the sight all the aircraft in his
garden. At no point did we enter his property we saw everything from the
outside and there was a canine issue in the garden anyway which did not look
harmless
