Ex YL-LEH, but this was never taken up.

Another Latvian Border Guard An-2. This time parked in what looked like somebodies back yard!

A parachutist can be seen jumping out of the door of this An-2 during a late afternoon jumping session flown from Limbazie.. The Colt was later sold on the civil market as YL-LEF.

After a long and extensive search, this aircraft is believed to be c/n 1G96-22, ex CCCP-32260 and YL-LEA. It was deregistered from the Latvian civil register on the same day as at least 8 other Border Guard An-2s. Other An-2s in Aeroflot colour remained in these colours at Spilve, whilst the remainder showed up in the UK. 1G96-22 seems to have been 'missing' for a number of years. Further more, it has the same dent on the fuselage as CCCP-32260 which makes it quite sure this is the correct tie-up. It was later again on the civil register as YL-CCF and it still has the same dent on the fuselage! This was discussed with the Guus Ottenhof and he seems to agree after viewing the evidence.

Leased from Flightline May-Oct 1998
