I spent a full day here at Kbely and still did not see evrything. It is a very big museum with a lot of aircraft. It was fascinating seeing so many soviet types for the first time, along with possibly my first SAAB Draken. Unexpected exhibits incuded a Spey Phantom, the hull of a Saunders Roe flying boat and quite a few other British machines. I must say the staff there are right up on their Tetris game: in the main display hangar the machines are almost stacked on top of each other with just centimetres of clearance. It must have been quite a job squeezing them in there. Unfortunately, it made photographing those machines very difficult. Athough, if they had been spread out I would have needed three days there!
