    The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.

    The chances are these Migs are not in the UK? More like former Warsaw Pact Countries, Poland, Czech Republic etc.

    my guess is east germany markings seem to be former D.D.R. markings there is only 1 mig 21 ( reporting name "fishbed ") by the looks of things the others would seem to be sukhoi 7 and the swing wing development of the sukhoi SU-7 the SU17 ( reporting name "fitter" )

    they would have been retired after equipment upgrades as the east and west german airforces were joined , the last soviet aircraft in the german airforce the mig 29 ( reporting name "fulcrum " ) were sold in 2003 to poland it was an outstanding deal for poland as they got 23 aicraft for a token price of 1 euro each so 23 euros for a couple of squadrons of mig 29's must be the defence deal of the century !!


    Main article: Reunification of Germany





    The GDR air force, the Luftstreitkräfte der NVA, was supplied exclusively with Eastern Bloc-produced aircraft such as the Sukhoi Su-17 "Fitter" and Mikoyan-Gurevich (MiG) family of aircraft, such as the MiG-21, MiG-23 and MiG-29 fighters, and served primarily as an extension of Red Air Force units in Eastern Germany. The East German Air Force was unique among Warsaw Pact countries in that it was often equipped with Soviet-standard combat aircraft instead of downgraded export models. Operated as an extension of Soviet air power, the East German Air Force enjoyed less autonomy than other Eastern Bloc air forces. The markings on the aircraft reflected the identity of the country as belonging to the Communist bloc. These markings consisted of a diamond-shaped design, with three vertical stripes in black, red and gold surmounted by the stylized hammer, and wreath-like ears-of-grain design, which was also on the Flag of East Germany.
