Новые планы

[john5r]

Есть у меня хитрый план - увидеть все финские Folland Gnat. Благо, их не так и много, и пять я уже могу вычеркивать.
Два в Тиккакоски, два в Вантаа, и один в Кархула.

Finnish Gnats according to the Internet per 18th August 2005:

(*голосом ведущего телемагазина): Но и это еще не все! Оказалось, что в Финляндии есть еще и целое стадо ШтуГов. Которые тоже неплохо бы все увидеть. Три я еще в 2009 "отловил" в Парола.


(Второй песочного цвета виден на заднем плане, а третий стоит в ангаре)


Я-то думал, что это все (ну, положим, еще парочка в разобранном виде лежит на складе). Но на самом деле их там сохранили столько, сколько в России Т-34-85 на постаментах! (да, в этом месте я утрировал, СИЛЬНО)

Ну в Болгарии Штугов и Панцеров 4 тоже хватает-правда тупо брошенных.Да и у нас в Украине есть-в Киеве Панцер 3-й а в Севасе пара Штуг поднятых из под воды.В Карпатах тоже 3-ка осталась-правда уже раздерибаненная за время СССР но зато выкрашенная и ухоженая-как памятник Ковпаку.
