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,

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

Visit my webpage:

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 !
