On Friday I had the opportunity during a business trip to vsit the Ukrainian National Aviation Museum in Kiev.

Absolutely superb for western eyes, simple descriptions in Ukranian and English. I couldn't find an english speaker anwhere to ask questions, but that was not a problem. Entry fee, equivalent of £0.60. Anyone who wants more information please message me. Many more pictures of other exhibits.

The Museum is located on the perimeter of Zhulyani Airfield about 8km South West of Kiev City centre.

I haven't labelled these in case anyone wants some identifying fun. These 12 are about 1/5 of the aircraft there including a complete Ilyushin civilian line up and a full Mig line up from Mig-15 to Mig-29. For me the highlights were the Backfires and the Bear. Yes, the svelt figure is me.

A superb visit and an ambition fulfilled and, as you can see, gardening is not their forte.
