Polikarpov I-15bis at Flying Legends 2004

[Brett]

Hi,

Does anybody know the civil registration being used by the Polikarpov I-15bis at Flying Legends last year?

Cheers,

Brett

The registration has been quoted in Aeroplane monthly.

As soon, as I trace back the magazine, I will revert

I've got a great side view from 2004 Flying Legends but I see absolutely no
civilian registration markings of any kind. The only thing on it is a big "19" and some smaller cyrillic writing. I'd post the pic but I don't know how and my computer guru (Mrs. Mudge) has gone to bed.

I found the magazine but cannot find the articles.

Nvertheless, i remember the registrations consister of one letter followed by the numeral 19 painted on the fuselage followed by another letter. It is likely to be a Russian test registration

Thanks very much gents.

I missed the original thread because I was wandering around England looking at warbirds, rather than wandering around the net looking at warbirds.

That'll teach me to get my priorities right!

Cheers,

Brett
