A few images taken recently at the Air Museum, Prague.

The museum is quite large, anybody planning to visit should allow at least 2 hours - aircraft enthusiasts should probably arrange a hotel nearby

IMAGES:

1-4. Exhibition of head wear, clothing and Luftwaffe car pennant.

I remember reading somewhere that the Czech pilots nicknamed these aircraft "Mule" due to the bad torque reaction of the Jumo motor!..

14-16. Images of the Me-262A (Avia S-92/V-34).

The Czechoslovak air force had ten of these aircraft - seven one-seat S-92 variants and three CS-92 two-seaters. In the fifties, with the arrival of the Soviet jets, these planes were dispersed throughout the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and used as training aids.
