During 1959 and 1960 PZL-Mielec built 129 MiG-17PF as Lim-5Ps, which were fitted with RP-1 radars, but by the late 1960s these were no longer combat capable as interceptor fighters. In 1971 some were converted to attack aircraft by installing additional weapon provisions and replacing the radar with a battery. These aircraft were designated Lim-6M and the reconnaisance version was the Lim-6MR. This example of the latter is pictured at this super museum.

This photograph shows a corner of the Polish Aviation Museum at Krakow with Mig-21s, Sukhoi-7s and Lim 6s visible. I have been an enthusiast long enough to remember when it was a dream to even see these types of aircraft, yet here I was walking around with dozens of them on display. A wonderful museum, wonderful.

This Fresco is on display at the Muzeum Orła Białego, named after members of the local WWII, resistance group Orzel Bialy (White Eagle), many of whom were captured, shot and buried in two mass graves in nearby forests. The museum has relatively few planes, rather a large collection of Russian, Polish and German WWII and post-war tanks and military equipment. The museum also collects and preserves documents and historical materials relating to the military history of the city and the region.
