After a long and extensive search, this aircraft is believed to be c/n 1G96-22, ex CCCP-32260 and YL-LEA. It was deregistered from the Latvian civil register on the same day as at least 8 other Border Guard An-2s. Other An-2s in Aeroflot colour remained in these colours at Spilve, whilst the remainder showed up in the UK. 1G96-22 seems to have been 'missing' for a number of years. Further more, it has the same dent on the fuselage as CCCP-32260 which makes it quite sure this is the correct tie-up. It was later again on the civil register as YL-CCF and it still has the same dent on the fuselage! This was discussed with the Guus Ottenhof and he seems to agree after viewing the evidence.
