Warbird Information Exchange

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.

Mudge the computerly incompetent

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

Brett, check here: White 19

Registration is FLARF-02089.

Here's the Polikarpov from 2004 Duxford.

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

the russkies didn't uglify this 1!!
