As is well known Marin Negrila left Clinceni in an IAR813 on 27th June 1959 and ended up in Turkey. I have always seen references to his IAR813 being YR-IBB, but I now have a photo from a Turkish newspaper which clearly shows YR-ICC (ie. c/n 16).
I understand that YR-IBB was at the Muzeul Technic ‘Profesor Inginer Dimitrie Leonida’, Bucharest until at least Oct-00, but has now gone.
Can anyone tell more more about either aircraft?
Thanks,
Steve Darke
