Ex SP-AJB, there is some discussion about 81.123 being the real serial of this rare PWS26 or not

This was built in 1937 and taken on charge with the Polish AF with serial 5. It later became SP-AJB and joined this museum in December 1963.

Designed in 1934 and used as an advanced trainer. Out of 260 total aircraft, this is the only surviver. It was operated by the Luftwaffe and served as a glider tug after the war (as SP-AJB, until the early 1950's). In 1954 it was retired to the technical museum in Wroclaw, from which it was sent to this (back then new) aviation museum in 1963. During the restoration it received the current factory paint scheme.

First flown in 1935, the PWS-26 was a succesful advanced trainer built in fairly large numbers for the Polish air force. Upon the invasion of Poland a dozen or so were evacuated to Romania and others to Latvia; 28 of the latter were later sold to Romania by the Germans, and the type was used in Romania into the 1950s. This airframe was tested by the Luftwaffe as 'VG-AS' and it flew as SP-AJB after the war as a glider tug.
