a PZL TS-11 Iskra hidden away in the middle of the Polish country side, probably crash landed there and not worth the effort to remove

  1. Huh... interesting. Military don't abandon equipement, well they do but they "abandon" them inside bases or on training areas. There is one such place in Greater Poland and Pomeranian Voivodeship (literally, half of it in one and half in other one) they have there a mock up of airbase that is typical target to bombs, fired upon ect. But this picture show clearly a farming area with bushes or small trees. And in that case it could be private owned junk, but why someone would put that in the middle of own field... that's beyond me.

    1. Well, this is how the Iskra breed. The hen is hiding in the breeding nest, sitting on her eggs.

  2. My guess is that it was deliberately placed there as a part of an airborne radar training range. A plane that small could have been lifted out with a helicopter, or if was too badly damaged in a crash, broken up and hauled out piece by piece.
