Today I revisited the Museum after a while, so here are few more photos of some aircraft I haven't photographed previously...

Beautifully presented museum! Well laid out for excellent photography at two levels, not to forget some choice types of aircraft on display. All contained in a stunning building, although photography might be difficult in some times of the day with all that glass. I noticed the Short Sealand lurking under the building in an exterior shot. A very rare bird, since this is the last of the last of the Short Brothers' flying boats. This museum also has the fuselage of the last surviving Saro Cloud as well. Do you have any close up pics of either of these? Pleeeeeese?
 
Don't think our Museum owns parts of Saro Cloud, but as far as I know a fuselage of this aircraft can be seen in a Museum in Prague, Czech Republic. Also I checked my folders and found only one photo which I took from a far where Short Sealand can be seen together with MiG-21R and two Kamov helicopters. I cropped out the Sealand from this photo for better look.

Actually, come to think of it, you are right It's at Kbely Museum outside of Prague!

Thanks for the Sealand photos; it's a rare aeroplane. Did you not think it was worthy of photographing individually? Sometimes the most interesting aircraft are not necessarily the most obvious. When I go to a place like this, I look for the stuff you wouldn't find anywhere else - rarities.

Wouldn't say unworthy, but rather overshadowed by some other aircraft displayed around the Museum. During that particular visit most of my attention was devoted to Junkers Ju 52 and MiG-23 for example. At least when outdoor exhibition is concerned that is. Then, there's also the fact that Sealand is placed inconspicuously in the corner next to the main entrance staircase and because of that easily missed. I do agree with you though. When you're eager to see "stars of the exhibition" you can often miss some interesting and rare pieces. Too bad that Museum basement is closed to public. There you can find some real rarities.

Indeed! Always the same in museums though; often what's not on display is what is most appealing to people. Any idea what those 'real rarities' might be?

Keep posting pictures, Imalko. very interesting.
 
Well, some of the rarities in our Museum are: the remains of only ever shot down F-117, parts of Ju 87B and P-38 Lightning, then Fiat G.50bis, Fw 190F-8, Jumo 004 engine, Ikarus S-49A, etc. Greatest rarity among all of these is unique Fiat G.50bis - only existing example in the world. This aircraft once served with Regia Aeronautica, later it was handed over to the Air Force of so called Independent State of Croatia only to be captured by Yugoslav Partisans towards the end of war. Currently this aircraft is stored in the Museum basement. Plans for the restoration exist, but the project is on hold for the lack of funds. As the aircraft is unavailable to the public there isn't many pictures of it. I found the fallowing on another forum.

8) Aaaah; Imalko! I knew you would come up with the goods! Now I know what to enquire about in advance of my visit to the place - that is if I ever get there! I love a good museum store!
 
Cheers mates! Glad you find this interesting...
Another "occupant" of the Museum basement is this Focke Wulf Fw 190F-8, W.Nr. 930838, formerly of SchG 2, captured in 1945 at Kovin airfield and for a while used operationally by new Yugoslav Air Force. (Pictures are not mine, but found on the internet.)
