Hi all,
The front section of former NVA L-29 321, which is in the database as scrapped, still exists. It was stored at Reinsburg in March 2015 (see http://www.skybird-ev.de/Germany/Reinsd ... orf-d.html, but a visit this week learned it has moved on. Thanks to Flugzeugforum I learned that it is now at Allstedt.
And the museum at Finow got a new exhibit, a former Iraqi MiG-21. Well, the frond half of it that is. It is c/n 05685147, which did spend some time in Munich marked as "23+85". It is now in Finow, displayed against the wall of the cabin that holds their MiG-21 simulator (which is now up and running after a thorough restoration). This Iraqi MiG was left at Dresden when the events of 1990/1991 unfolded, with two others, and was subsequently scrapped. It carried maintenance code 8708, the Iraqi serial might have been 210 according to Russian Planes, but confirmation would be nice.
Two small bits from Germany (L-29 and MiG-21)
