Julian,

There is a good aviation museum in Krakow (Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego) - just next to the Technical University: Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego al. Jana Pawla II 39 31-864 Krakow,

snipped-for-privacy@bci.krakow.pl It is open on Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 16:00 (but only outdoor exhibition on Monday as far as I remember) Saturday and Sunday 10:00 - 15:00

In Warsaw there is no aviation museum, but close to the city center is the Museum of Polish Armed Forces (Muzeum Wojska Polskiego) that also has some interesting military aviation exhibits: Muzeum Wojska Polskiego Al. Jerozolimskie 3 00-950 Warszawa snipped-for-privacy@wp.mil.pl

reviews, galleries etc.

If you do get to Krakow - ask if you can take a look in the 'sheds' around the back. The last time I was there they had the fuselage of the record-breaking Me-209 V1 stashed in a lock-up garage - along with loads of other rare stuff awaiting restoration.

In another garage, they has Ernst Udet's Curtis Hawk being restored.

In Warsaw, there are some airframes in the grounds of a museum down by the river just along from the central square - not sure of its name - maybe the one Pawel mentions ? They had a very dilapidated Tu-2 and an Il-2 and Il-10 next to each other - with a Yak-23 behind.

There is another one a kilometer or so away - along the river bank. It was being set up the last time I was there - lots of ex-Soviet stuff gathered around the back. A few tanks at the entrance IIRC - including a Canadian Sherman (Abbot ?).

Have fun !
