The Tu-2T was the torpedo-bomber variant based on the Tu-2S and was in service with the Bulgarian AF from 1947 until 1954. This particular aircraft served at Balchik (LBWB) and once was forced to ditch into the Black Sea. Fortunately all crew members survived, the aircraft recovered and arrived at the museum in 1993.
