Yak-9P

I would be very interested in any info you have about the 'past life' of any of these museum treasures.

Sadly some of them are not treated as a treasure.
Here are some pictures, I took in Gdynia a few months ago

Gentlemen,
Thank You for your additional responses to this topic.
I had hoped that this might have been an original Yak-9 finally getting a long overdue restoration, but as usual it is more 'revisionist history'

with this few original parts it will probably be impossible to determine what model of Yak-9 this was originally.

I have seen other photos of this same machine (Gdyna) taken by someone else, but your photos are nice , too.

this is another example of a very prized and precious (at least to me) aircraft that has been left to become a derelict at the hands of Mother Nature.
this aircraft deserves to be brought indoors for a full Restoration and then to remain indoors for display.
