***Antonov An-2 vs East German Mig-21***

Ok, here we go again!

I posted these before but I was trying out my new camera and I suppose our newer members would like to see this. What we have here is an East German Mig-21 and an Antonov An-2, both belonging to a local eccentric millionaire who collects junk and displays it on his castle grounds. He also has a lot of older German machinery on his lot like Mercedes-Benz trucks, MB Unimogs and Setra buses. He also has old bulldozers rusting on his land.

If anyone wants specific HQ 2256 x 1500 shots , tell me which particular one you want and I will host them on Imageshack and post them here.

We begin with the Antonov An-2. Probably was made in Poland like the vast majority of them. There was a plaque on the engine which surprisingly read in English, "Made in Poland". No cockpit shots this time fellows, the door was locked!

ANTONOV AN-2

Here you can see the Mig-21 in the background.

MIG-21

Animals have made this plane their home. The spider web and wasps are evidence of this!

The cockpit was full of water, so I didn't want to risk getting my camera damaged, hence the crappy shots...

Goodbye Mig-21! Last shot!

And here's a shot of the castle where the "owner" lives: Schloss Guttenburg.
