Still looks pretty hot! This MiG 21 was operated by the Polish Air Force as 5011. In 1992 it was shipped to Australia and registered, appropriately, VH-XXI on 21 November that year. It flew for a while as a warbird in the mid 1990s before being retired to the Fighter World museum at RAAF Williamtown. It was struck off the Register in July 2006 and subsequently moved to the HARS collection. This photo is copyright © Phil Vabre, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
