P47 in Croatian Technical Museum
« on: April 09, 2010, 08:43:44 AM »

This thing is huuuuge :).It is visualy in mint condition,technicaly electric installation needs overhaul and lubrication system (rubber hoses are cracked).I was surprised by the sheer size of it...I'm 193cm tall but I had to stand on my toes to peak into supercharger intake below the engine ;D.
It had it's brownings untill the war in Croatia broke out in 1991...then Croatian army borrowed them and never returned  >:(.
Looking from the floor above I could peak into cockpit,and it is complete.I could not make a photo of the pit because it is too high to reach and climbing on the aircraft is not allowed :(

It is a little known fact that there was a thought given during the 90's Balkan wars to ACTUALLY RESTORE IT AND USE IT IN COMBAT! Glad they never did it, it would be a shame to lose this gem in combat...
