Robert PodkońskiThank you for reaching this out, Calvin. Indeed it is - especially for everyone interested in the planes from the other side of the 'Iron Curtain'. And it is located quite close to Warsaw.

MariusAwesome pictures Robert! That's a cool museum.
Most of those pieces are in a surprising good condition out there in the open.
Are there any surviving Polish aircraft of the WWII? I remember reading somewhere that most surviving Polish aircraft were flown and given to Romania during the evacuation, but I am not sure how accurate this is.

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Simon. Thank you, Marius. To the best of my knowledge the only survivor from September 39 is PZL P.11c renovated and exhibited in Polish Aviation Museum in Cracow:

And this was only a matter of coincidence since this very a/c was captured by Germans and exhibited during war in Berlin. In 1945 the items from Berlin museum were evacuated and some a/c were found after war near Wroclaw - among these was P.11c (and Me 209, too 😉
Most of Polish planes were destroyed, a few were evacuated to Romania, there are some rumours that few items were captured by Soviets and kept in storage somewhere near Moscow (it is a kind of a myth that there is still somewhere an original PZL P.37b "Łoś" hidden in Russia...)
