In Podhořany, four extraordinary warbirds await you: the world's only still flying Avro Anson Mk.I, the rare Miles Magister of the Royal Air Force, two genuine De Havilland Tiger Moths from the Second World War, and the Czechoslovakian classic touring aircraft Aero 145.
Historical
Their Warbirds in Podhořany in detail
The Avro Anson Mk.I MH120 is the flagship of the collection: built in 1943 and used during the Second World War to train flight crews of the Royal Australian Air Force, it is now considered the world's only flying Avro Anson of the original Mk.I version after its approximately ten-year restoration. Up to three passengers can experience various historical crew positions together, from co-pilot to navigator to gunner.
The Miles Magister Mk.I N3827 was the Royal Air Force's first monoplane trainer. Built in 1938 and preserved in approximately 95 percent original condition, this aircraft has a direct link to Czechoslovakian RAF history: in 1942, Czechoslovakian pilot Jan Mokrejš is documented to have flown several flights in this very aircraft. Equally authentic are the two De Havilland Tiger Moth Mk.IIs (N9503 and R5246) from 1939 and 1940, genuine former RAF trainers, which you can experience in an open cockpit.
The Aero 145 VH-DUH represents a different chapter in aviation history: The elegant twin-engine touring aircraft classic, produced in Czechoslovakia, completed its ferry flight from Prague to Australia in 1961 and returned to its original home under its own power in 2024 after 57 days and almost 20,000 kilometers.
