Photo Comment

This unmarked An-2 fuselage is now at the Muzeum Gryf near Dąbrówka. I suspect that this may be the fuselage of ex-Polish AF An-2M '1316', which has recently disappeared from Garczegorze. It follows then that the tail and wings may have been used in the restoration of An-2T '8553'. This plane (8553) was previously only a fuselge hulk but is now on display at Gnieżdżewo fully restored, with wings and tail, which have had to have come from somewhere. I think '1316' and this is the then unrequired fuselage. This all fits but this isn't enough, any definitive confirmation would be appreciated.
