Hi Graeme,

That looks like a MiG or Yak in a Museum, so I guess that it's not one of your recent photos from Wollongong

Yes to first hunch - and certainly not Wollongong...

Hi again Graeme,

By a process of elimination on goggling variables, by trying first just Russian, then MiG and finally Yak, together with adding Polish, as in "Yak piston engine fighters in Polish museum" I found the original image in reader view Wikipedia??? https://thereaderwiki.com/en/Yakovlev_Yak-9

Yak-9 it is mate. :-)

I discovered that the Yak-9 has the wheel fork on the outside of the wheel whereas the Yak-3 has it on the inside.
