The information plaque alongside this exhibit states that 202 was *manufactured* in the 'Han Asparuh' overhaul plant at Dobrich AB. Does this mean that this is a UMiG-15MT, a program to convert low-hours, obsolete single-seat MiG-15 Fagots to two-seat Midget trainers, from 1963. Any further info welcome.

The An-24 was in service with the Bulgarian AF from 1966 until 2005. However, this particular plane has no military service history, rather was built in 1967 and originally delivered to TABSO. From April 1968, after the rebranding, the plane then flew with Balkan and came to the museum from Varna (VAR) in 1992.
