up and day 3 arrived with day light we came to Krosno the main target of the

no time in showing us round the factory and all it had of offer

and Visa's etc put this to rest and we decided not to go and made out was
North from Besco towards Rzeszow to find some more W & R,s

A search for a MiG-21 at a military hospital

MIG-21 at a school, But the was the next day
Day 5 was still
alive as were still driving up towards Gdansk, Off on the right hand side of
the road by a good few km,s is the small town of Orneta and the school there
has a MiG-21. Say no more we turned off and headed off in that direction

(7102) MiG-21 not seen moved on
We have seen this before near Poznan (At a

area of Poland we had not visited before we thought it was one that had got
away
A little short in supply on this trip
were active bases but this next stop bumped the active numbers up a little

parts is Chlapowo and a Tu-134 ex LOT and the Air Force
Chlapowo 08-10-09
(102) Tu-134 (SP-LHG)
On the way back to Gdynia we passed the road to
Hel and drove down it a little to get the rest of the name of the trip. Hel
is on a spit of land called "The Hel Peninsula" which sticks out into The
Baltic Sea and Bay of Puck for just over 20 Miles and Hel is the town at the
end. that's got that out of the way
Next
