The Museum Letectvi Kbely is located on the outskirts of Prague, Czech Republic, and is easy to get to by public transport. The museum was the product of the former Communist government which ensured that examples of prototypes, aircraft coming out of service with the air force, government organisations and surviving aircraft from the 1920s and 1930s were brought together. Replicas of significant aircraft from the past which did not survive the Nazi era were built to fill the gaps. With such a wealth of material available it is not surprising that this is one of the great museums of Europe and that it possesses many unique types of aircraft. This feature looks at the jet-powered fighter aircraft which form an interesting sub-section of the displays. These emanate mostly from the former Soviet Union but also include Czech-built Messerschmitt Me 262s, a Northrop F-5, a McDonnell F-4, a Gloster Meteor and a Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Sabre. The last four seem out of place but I was told that they were there to represent aircraft which Communist forces have fought against.
