The original SP-WCA(1) was An-2 s/n 1G105-50, this was registered from August 1969 to May 1977 and was cancelled after an accident.

SP-WCA(2) was PZL 130T Turbo Orlik s/n 1900008 - this was previously SP-PCD.  WCA(2) was registered from October 1990 until December 1999 - after a period of storage at PZL Okecie this Orlik was sold to a private owner in the USA and became N450KM and later N552PZ - photo below shows SP-WCA(2) inside the flight test hangar at PZL Okecie.
