Its my pleasure to show a small tour through the Romanian Military Aviation Museum. located in Bucharest, at Strada Barbu Vàcàscu The nearest Metro (Underground) station, (10 mins walk) is the appropriately named AUREL VLAICU station, which most people going to the museum will access via the central Metro PIATA UNIRIIstation. My very first visit and some aircraft, Uniforms, Medals,Equipment and other objects of interest can be found there. Kevin in Deva. :cheers:
