On a recent tour of Bulgaria, we visited the splendid air museum at Krumovo in Plovdiv. Considering the state of Bulgarian economy (and infrastructure), the exhibits are in remarkable condition. Enjoy
Cheers, Markl

As you say Mark, a nice museum with some very interesting types. Your shots do them justice too.

A cracking collection of mostly soviet built types although some of them look like they could do with a bit of TLC.

Thanks Guys, I'm getting a real taste for travelling around Eastern Europe - did Poland last May, well impressive place. Have also put my name down for a trip to Sliac (Slovakia) next Summer and hopefully (if it happens again) Kescemet (Hungary) too.
Cheers again, Mark.
