Krumovo Museum - Bulgaria (picture heavy)

[roughcutter]

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.
