The Polish national archive has a huge online collection of historic images and among them are some photos of aircraft. Pleased to see the image below of RWD 13 SP-MSZ taken in 1948. This aircraft has a lot of history - prior to WW2 it was registered as SP-BMY with s/n 231 operating as an air ambulance. During the war it escaped to Romania and is believed to have used YR-MSZ, YR-INT and serial "2".
It returned to Poland in 1947 and became SP-MSZ on 31st October 1947 ( Rejestracja #212 ) operated by the Foreign Ministry ( M.S. Zagran ie "MSZ" ) and was based at Warsaw Goclaw airfield. In 1951 the aircraft was used by defectors to flee to Sweden before it was returned to Poland.
