Poland - 20th - 24th November 2014 Day 5

The last day had arrived and it was off via a pit stop at the nearest garage for what had become the standard brekkie - coffee and hot dog/kilbasa sausage.

It was still too early for Zamosc to be open but one micro was seen through a gap.

Next up was a newish field where a nice little collection has appeared. The GA hangar was shut but has big windows.

After just over 1800km it was back to where we started, Modlin. Nothing had changed here where the same G150 was again all that graced the ramp until the RYR arrived. A bit of time to kill was spent over a bite to eat and a beer whilst reflecting on a great few days away. Not a lot quantity wise, but this trip was all about the quality and there was plenty of that.

As we boarded EI-EVX for our flight home the real Polish weather turned up, snow and ice. We had it a bit cold for four and a bit days but luckily nothing like that.

After a delay for de-icing we left for the two hour or so flight back to Stansted where a quick look at the biz area was in order.

Kielce was all locked up bar the EC135. Luckily the Gent walking his dog had keys for one hangar and happily opened it for us. The larger one was closed with no key holder on site. Still, one is better than none and a good excuse to come back as it apparently had some AN-2s inside.

One of the two hangars has a clear side so we read a couple off when the man in charge came out. A little chat was had where he invited us in and opened both hangars for us. Cheers George.

What a superb museum. One of the highlights has to be the pair of 'Beagles'.

Not much seen on the active side.

Backtracking to a pick up few more preserved frames. 

It was getting dark again so we stopped at the McDonalds for a snack and a 'Fitter'. The Iskra is the other side of the road about half a mile away.

It was now dark but only 1600L so a few more preserved frames were easy pickings.

Last call was Jacentow but the Iskra (1009) was nowhere to be seen.

We stayed the night at the Hotel Magnat in Jacentow which must be the only place in Poland that doesn't have cold beer. Not impressed as I could have done with a couple to help overcome the snoring, which was not even in unison, coming from the other beds. The ipod earnt its corn that night!
