This is the only example built of the Żuraw (Crane), a Polish utility and liaison aircraft that first flew in May 1951 but did not enter production. The lack of a sufficiently powerful engine and the fact that the airframe weight was 160 kg heavier than expected meant performance was poor. The plane was shelved because Poland bought a licence to produce the superior Yak-12 and the Żuraw proved to be the last design by LWD. This prototype was operated for a time by the Instytut Lotnictwa (Institute of Aviation) but withdrawn in 1960 and passed on to the museum in 1963.

Built in 1992 and used for just 10 years. Preserved/stored at Radom, marked for upgrade in 2006 but that was cancelled, and in this museum since 2008. The tanks are on supports rather than attached to the wing, presumably to avoid extra loads on the airframe.

Put on display in honour of 13 servicemen who gave their lives in the period of 1952 to 1987, while serving with the 39.PLM at Mierzecice air base. The plaquard saying so is dated 28 April 2014. This is actually MiG-21PF 1813, the real 1901 is 77km (48mi) away in the Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków.

This Fishbed-J was accepted into the Polish AF in April 1974 and went on to fly with various regiments during its service career. One of these was the 10th Fighter Aviation Regiment based at Lask, which it joined in August 1993. In 2000 the plane was painted in this golden scheme to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the regiment's foundation. In January 2003 the plane was retired and stored for three years at Lask before being placed at this wonderful museum.

This is the sole survivor of the P-11c, which for a time was the world's most advanced fighter of its type and Poland's premier frontline combat aircraft at the onset of WWII. It wears now a brown scheme but was green when I photographed it six years ago.

Although the Polish military has operated the Mi-8 since 1968, this is, undoubtedly, the most famous single helicopter in Poland! This Hip was built in 1973 and outfitted for ten passengers. It was operated by the 36th Special Air Transport Regiment in Warsaw and was used to fly Pope John Paul II during his pilgrimages to Poland in 1983 and 1997, and so accounts for its celebrity within the country. The frame was donated to the museum in December 2009.

Although the Polish military has operated the Mi-8 since 1968, this is, undoubtedly, the most famous single helicopter in Poland! This Hip was built in 1973 and outfitted for ten passengers. It was operated by the 36th Special Air Transport Regiment in Warsaw and was used to fly Pope John Paul II during his pilgrimages to Poland in 1983 and 1997, and so accounts for its celebrity within the country. The frame was donated to the museum in December 2009.

This photo would normally not be possible but MiG-19PM 905 has been removed from the end of the line. The museum recently must have spent a lot of time and resources on refurbishing the main hangar, perhaps the absence of the Farmer- E signifies that attention is being turned to sprucing up the outside exhibits as, it must be said, some are starting to look a bit bedraggled. Lim-6M 606 was built as a 5P and TOC by the Polish AF in November 1960. It was converted to a 6M sometime after 1972 and donated to the museum in October 1990.
