CS-199.565, trainee Miloš Krč and ppor. Jaroslav Havránek, 4 Air Training Regiment, Prostějov, 1951

Avia CS-199.565 served in 1951 with the 4 lšp (Air

Training Regiment) Prostějov. On July 31, 1951, the

crew made up of trainee Miloš Krč and instructor ppor. Jaroslav Havránek were forced into an

emergency landing at Tovačov due to engine failure. The aircraft was subsequently repaired and

served on as a trainer. At the time of the incident,

the aircraft carried no yellow bands on the fuselage or wings. Currently, this aircraft is on display

at the aviation museum in Kbely, outside of Prague,

but its appearance at the museum differs from that

of the original as offered in the kit.
