On display in the corner of the newly refurbished main hangar at this super museum. It is nice to see the changes being made over time as this interesting plane is restored. The fact that the instrument panel and other cockpit bits are displayed in a glass case is, I hope, only temporary and that they will be installed in their rightful places in due course. Polish piilots valiantly flew the outclassed CR-714 with great distinction in the Battle of France and, presumably, that is the reason this example is here at all.
