L-29 in Dronten

Post by Withnail »

At the company Berend Bootje in Dronten I stumbled upon the remains of a Czech L-29. I couldn't find a s/n or c/n. Does anyone have a clue about which aircraft this is?

No idea unfortunately, but if you get the opportunity: the c/n plate is in the left hand main wheel bay. It's at the upper right hand side, and you might have to scratch some paint off.....

Is this still there, and is it stored outside? I need it, and would like to do a 'drive by' after work... ;-)

After some searching: this was actually ex Czechoslovak AF, it never made it into the Slovak AF as an operational aircraft. Does somebody know which unit of the CZS AF operated the Delphins?

The MiG-21 is still in Noord-Holland, not in Dronten. Is not to go there either as there already are interested buyers...

Today at 12.45 I saw a Delfin 'roadrunning' on the A50 between Zwolle and Apeldoorn in a southern direction. Think it was the one mentioned here.
