Their first C295 was delivered in August 2003, as it happens serial 011, same aircraft that visited Casement.

All are based at Krakow-Balice & operated by 13 ELTR.

Apologies Fouga, I am afraid that I cannot say, I just don't know.
I was working on a project in the Museum Hangar and heard what I took to to be the AC Casa landing after a Maritime. I had a quick look and saw the multiblades props and went back and grabbed the camera. I went back to finish what I was doing and when I went back to the Casa the crew had gone and so I did not get a chance to talk to them. I have donned the obligatory sackcloth and ashes! :fryingpan:

Keep up the good work with those interesting snippets you regularly post :bowdown:
