Igor Etrich was an early Czech aircraft designer most notable for the pre-WWI monoplane 'Taube', which was the first aircraft to be mass-produced in Germany. The E.VIII was his last design and dates from 1929 but, unfortunately, didn't make it into serial production. This was the only example built and is now on display in the Národní technické muzeum in Prague.

The Avia BH-10 was a single-seat aerobatic sports plane built in Czechoslovakia in 1924, based on the Avia BH-9 but easily visually distinguished from it by the tall anti-roll pylon added behind the open cockpit in order to protect the pilot in the event that the aircraft flipped over or crashed while inverted. At least 20 examples were bought by the Czechoslovakian Army as a training aircraft with this example on display at the Národní technické muzeum in Prague.

The VBŠ Kuňkadlo is a Czechoslovak light single-seat sports airplane built by the brothers Vladimír and Bohuslav Šimůnková between 1924 to 1926. Problems identified after the first flight led to an extensive redesign and eventually a successful plane that performed at air shows throughout the country. After WWII it was donated to the Národní technické muzeum in Prague where it is now on display.

I tend to ignore any gliders at the various museums that I visit, however, the Czechoslovaks had such a long and proud heritage in producing excellent designs that it would be rude to do so. The Radek 3 first flew from Kbely in 1937 but the subsequent German occupation prevented any further development. In 1951 the frame was donated, by its creator František Kantor, to the the Národní technické muzeum in Prague for display.

This Hoplite was damaged beyond repair in July 1988 when flying at low-level over the Seč dam reservoir and a rotor blade hit the water. The helicopter crashed and unfortunately one crewman was killed. The fuselage and tail boom (unskinned to the right) are awaiting restoration at this super museum at Vyškov.

This Mi-2 was first noted in September 1991 with the Czechoslovak AF and went to the Czechs in January 1993. After retirement it was stored in South Bohemia but is now part of this very interesting museum.
