Actually ex-Polish AF and first delivered in 1973 as 5011, this MiG-21 was imported to Australia in 1992. It was restored to flight by an RAAF pilot at Williamtown under civil registration in 1994 in the guise of an Indian AF machine. After a short but spectacular career on the show circuit, the challenge of operating such a demanding aeroplane became too much and it was grounded and moved into the Fighter World Museum at Williamtown, recently moving on to HARS.
