The next stop was another collection, the Muzeum Oreza Polskiego in Kolobzreg. This one is all outside and much easier to see. Again the early hour meant it was also closed.

Only the CSS-13 is inside here, but can be seen through the large window!
The next stop was Bagicz, an ex military base with a few HAS's converted to aeroclubs. Sadly they were all locked up. But we did take a few minutes to explore some of the old HAS's.
Back on the road and more preserved pieces.

Back to the GA fields and a stop at Zagrze-Pomorskie found yet another blank as it was completely deserted and gated.
Swidwin Airbase next, we didn't expect to see any Sukhoi's being a weekend, but tried to see the line of gateguards. But to no avail, only the lone Iskra in the housing area was logged.

A few miles down to the town found the Lim on a pole.

The next stop was a farm in Drahimek, upon entering the gates a friendly farmer spoke to us. But he said there were no planes there. Another blank then!
A series of preserved aircraft followed, starting at Czaplinek and another Lim.

These two are in different locations but only a few minutes apart. Next was the airbase gateguards.

Finally we took a drive round the base and a look at the memorial for the fatal Casa crash. All that remains is the tail section of the unfortunate CN295 - 019.
Back on the road it was off to another GA field, but we finally managed to get some regs in the log here. But it did take some effort through squinny tactics.

Finally we had made it to possibly the most frustrating place in Poland, Nadarzyce! There was no chance of getting the Female guard to let us look at the line of Migs and Iskras. Even the charms of Bulldog had failed here before!
We had to settle for what we could from the fence line.

The three we noted preserved by the tower was all we could see, I presume there are still a few other exhibits that escaped us.
We didn't try to explore the ranges, although I understand you can get to them on the weekends? Can anyone clarify this?
We eventually got away from Nadarzyce, with a promise to return again! The next stop was Krepsko another GA field, and yet another blank!
One last stop was planned for the day in Pila town.
Pila-Town 25-3-16
1952 Mikoyan-Gurevich Lim-2 Unknown Polish Air Force - marked 2002 on other side
With there still being considerable light left, we decided to start knocking off the next days Itinerary. So we headed for the GA drome at Pila. Absolutely nothing here! The note on the itinerary sheet says 'Dead as a Dodo'.
Further up the road is an unknown Iskra at Smilowo. A quick drive by found this on a pole in the middle of some fields.
And that was the end of the day, we headed for our accommodation which was a rented apartment for the night. But there was no way of contacting the owners and we were several hours early until they would turn up!
A tactical decision was made and we bugged out and headed north. The plan was to find a hotel near to our first stop in the morning. On route we passed another Lim at Miastko.

After a few hours driving we found a nice little B&B and called it a night. Another 500kms on the clock today. Not a great numbers day due to the lack of tinnage, but some good quality stuff to make up for it.
