55 Samodzielna Eskadra Bombowa Lekka.
Photo was probably taken at Okecie airfield in Warsaw where this plane was awaiting maintenance works.

Srecko, you need info about the unit or this particular airplane?
This PZL 23 Karas from 55 Eskadra with white number 10 on the fin has been captured by Germans in Warsaw-Okecie PZL works in September 1939 where it was in overhaul. Several photos of this airplane, made by Germans after they captured Okecie, are known.
