This An-2 was originally delivered to the Ukranian directorate of Aeroflot as CCCP-40240 in November 1986and then from August 1993 the plane became UR-40240 and flew with Avialini Ukrayiny. In August 2000 it was exported to Romania and reistered YR-LAR started flying for Aviatia Utilitara, although operated by Aero Scoroget. From November 2010 the plane was fully flying for Aero Scoroget from LRCB, however, the fuselage is now stored in this compound on the east side of the airfield. Note the small propeller atop the fuselage, this is used to stir the liquid in the chemical tank during flight. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
