Remarks: Rare low res view of former Poland Air Force SBLim-2/MiG-15UTI, VH-BPG, being re-fuelled at the Canberra Festival Air Show in March 1993. The MiG's Klimov engine (copy of Rolls Royce Nene) is a thirsty beast. Photo taken the day that MiG-15UTI VH-LSN (Code 6015) crashed near Canberra Airport. It was also Federal Election Day. Apologies for quality.
