This trainer version of the B-33 is the latest addition to the wonderful Stará Aerovka, part of the Letecké Muzeum Kbely. The aircraft was probably built in 1954 but, unfortunately, its flight documentation has not survived. At the end of the 1950s, it was donated to Tábor Aeroclub and remained at Tábor until rescued by the VHÚ (Military History Institute) in 1967. It was renovated in 1969 at Pilsen - Líně but stored since the early 1990s in the VHÚ depository. Fortunately, it has now been superbly restored and placed on display.
