This aircraft was one of the last batch of Lim-5P aircraft built and was delivered in 1959 or 1960 to the Polish air force. It served with the 29th Fighter Regiment until at least October 1964. Between June and November 1972 it was rebuilt as a Lim-6M and assigned to the 40th Fighter Ground-Attack Regiment. By April 1982 it had again been modified to incorporate reconnaissance cameras and designated as a Lim-6MR and assigned back to the renamed 40th Fighter-Bomber Regiment. It was withdrawn from service in July 1987. This photo is copyright © Javier Rodríguez, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
