    Well it was such a surprise becasue it's in Hanger 1 where they look like they are preparing for the new museum, yet, it's not on the plans for this development.

    Better check the webby.

    Perhaps it is actually the Polikarpov 1-15bis from the Flying Legends show. Maybe it didn't make it's way back to Russa?

    Clingy - it is an I-15.... no retractable under carriage and the pilot looks forward UNDER the main plane... the I-153 has the pilot looking over the top - much lower wing... looked proper scary tho, sat next to Concorde


    AND.. there's a Yak 3 in about 3 bits being restored in one of the hangers.. next to... A GLADIATOR!! You were right about that engine cowling Zak - it IS the exhaust manifold... the engine was sitting in a hoist right next to the wire - got to stick me head in and have a proper look there was a mkIIc Hurri sat in the hangar too, with a suspiciously shiny new propellor on it
