Mig 17, sources of information?

[John Hill]

Hi, there is a possibility that our museum will be getting a Mig 17, believed to be complete but in non flying condition after several years outdoors.

I would very much like to make contact with someone who would be willing to answer questions that might arise while we give it a cosmetic restoration and put it on display. Questions such as how does one open the canopy and what checks to make for presence of pyrotechnics, seat cartridges etc etc.

Thanks
