Letadlo bylo do Dolní Poustevny dovezeno na základe žádosti výboru CS 7 (clenské samosprávy císlo 7) v Dolní Poustevne,Stavebního bytového družstva obcanu „Prukopník“ Varnsdorf.Žádost byla tehdy doporucena tehdejším predsedou MNV Dolní Poustevna,panem V.Hadvigou a dopravu garantoval z Hradce Králového –Pouchova tehdejší reditel pan J.Šifta. Bytovou samosprávu proto preprava nestála ani korunu. Nekdy koncem roku 1982 se pánové Ant.Tobiška a Jirí Poucha-predseda a technik bytové samosprávy dozvedeli,že ministerstvo Národní obrany CSSR zdarma zájemcum venuje vraky odstrojených vojenských letadel,pokud si seženou odvoz.Tím zacal takový menší kolotoc psaní žádostí a hledání zpusobu zaplacení dopravy.Tehdejší dopravce CSAD v Rumburku prislíbilo pomoc ,dáním vhodného nákladního vozidla a dokonce jedna cesta do Hradce Králového byla zdarma,nebot kamion tam jel vytížen.Tak se stalo, to bylo nejak koncem brezna 1983 prišel dopis k vyzvednutí letadla v urcitou hodinu s tím, že z letište prijedou ješte dva dustojníci,kterí dohlédnou na prepravu,vyložení a složení letadla. Jelikož jel nejaký pan Semelka ,který bydlel v Krásné Lípe,tak tam z Hradce prijeli vecer,tak jim dal veceri,posedeli u táboráku,bylo to zacátkem dubna,a druhý den ráno v 7.45 hod. se objevili i s letadlem v Dolní Poustevne.Jelikož kormidlo vycnívalo dost nad kabinu auta,“podarilo „se osádce cestou shodit na dvou místech telefonní dráty a to v Rumburku u nádraží,kde bylo sídlo tehdejšího vytežovacího strediska a u nás v Dolní Poustevne dole u bývalých jeslí(dnes Mestský úrad),kde museli dokonce vycouvat až k bytovkám na Šemberku a dojet kolem samoobsluhy k bytovce,protože u jeslí a tzv.strediska Údržba k.p.C. byl parovod pro údržbu,jesle a závod 01 u hranic. No tak to bylo „vzrušení“pro deti,které v té dobe mely jít do školy a takový náklad,jako byl trup letadla se složenými krídly ,no to se tedy jen tak nevidí dnes,natož tehdy,kdy jsme byli na konci sveta… K bytovkám pomalu auto dojelo,po ješte užší ceste než je dnes a bylo doprovázeno hordou školáku a velkou skupinou dospelých.Zastavili na parkovišti u domu a než se kdo nadál,tak po „vyhnání“ detí do školy se tu objevili chlapi co delali v údržbe ,v garážích a kdo mel volno tak letadlo,resp.jeho díly pokládaly na parkovište.Auto i pres varování místních se jelo otocit za garáže,chtel jet na louku na Hamru,ale jelikož byl moc dlouhý,tak zustal viset v dolíku.Teprve za pomoci asi dvou traktoru se ho podarilo vyprostit a asi kolem 11.hodiny odjelo a to mezi tím na parkovišti u domovních garáží se skvelo letadlo.Nádherne postavené díky jednak tem dvema vojákum ( jeden byl major a ten mladší byl nadporucík,bohužel jména si již nepamatuji…) a jednak chlapum v údržbe,kde se ten den od svaciny(cca od 9.00 hodin nepracoval za tichého souhlasu i mrucení tehdejšího vedení.Letadlo bylo na tocne asi tri dny,pak ho pan Miroslav Lebeda st.traktorem Zetor 25 prevezl na stávající stanovište.Je samozrejmé,že s tím bylo plno legrace i starostí.Tehdejší deti z naší bytovky si vymyslely,že od detí od jinud se bude vybírat medený 50,-ti halér,za to,že bude si moc na letadlo vlézt a jedna koruna,když vleze dovnitr.Také než bylo letadlo napevno ukotveno,tak se detem podarilo ho rozhoupat a otocit a málem „odjeli“ dolu do vsi.Dnes,kdy jsou již duše prázdné a není ani možnost sehnat jiné,tak se to tak nehne.Ješte se s letadlem hýbalo,když pod ním delali novou kanalizaci a dnes se ješte do bývalého výkopu trochu propadá.K veselým vzpomínkám ješte se váže jedna príhoda,jehož jeden aktér je ješte naživu,ale ten delal v lese a domu si nosil i motorovou pilu.No a tehdy se v Národním dome nejak pomeli dobre a šli svorne domu vrávoravým krokem a tu co nevidí,hned je napadlo,když letadlo nemá motor,že pomocí pily to letadlo „oživí“,asi i pro zlost jedné sousedky,která je již také na pravde Boží.Tak si jeden s pilou vlezl zadem do trupu letadla a ten druhý delal jako navigátora a to byl rachot.Z letadla se ozval rachot pily a kdo tehdy mel telefony,tak si také užil od té sousedky,,, chtejí unést letadlo,honem na ne pojdte“…No jak ríkám mnoha generacím detí bylo letadlo hrackou a stále je,i když pár dospelým je trnem v oku.Ale ty nevedí co je to život v bytovkách a mám dojem,že generace detí,které v naší družstevní bytovce vyrostli jsme alespon udelali víc zábavy než by mely jinde.. Tak Vám preji pekné poctenícko a také zamyšlení ,že pokud nekdo pro nekoho neco delá zadarmo,že to není hloupost,ale cloveka teší,že se to darí,když se to delá pro deti tak je dobré i pro spolkový život.A v družstevních bytovkách to bylo o necem jiném,než to bylo ve státních nebo podnikových.A verím,že tomu je i dnes.

Place: DOLNÍ POUSTEVNA,U Letadla c.p.377-9
Type of airplane: one passenger MIG-15 (military type)
Vintage: 1956 with Soviet license .
As part of military cooperation between the states of Warsaw pact.


In operation between 1952 and 1982 at Ostrava´s air force group Called off active duty in November 1982. Weight without motor, weaponry, seat and fuel cca 1120 kg. Fuel tank is still in the airplane. The plane was moved to Dolní Poustevna on the basis of request of Dolní Poustevna´s board CS7 ( home rule board nr. 7) and citizen´s collective “Prukopník” Varnsdorf. The request was then delivered by chairman MNV Dolní Poustevna, mistr V. Hadviga and the transport from Hradec Králové-Pouchov was overseen by director J. Šifta. House collective didn´t pay anything for the transport. On the beginning of 1982 misters Ant. Tobiška and Jirí Poucha- chairman and technician of house collective- heard information that Ministry of national defense CSSR was giving away striped battle airplane´s wrecks to people who was interested (and if they could transport these wrecks on they own). This information was on the beginning of the small whirlwind of written requests and attempts to find a way how to pay for the transport. At the time conveyor of CSAD promised help and landed one truck for this purpose (the trip to Hradec Králové was free because the truck was loaded with cargo on the way there). On the beginning of 1983 came letter that the plane can be picked up. Two military officers oversaw whole transport operation. They arrived at Krásná Lípa (the place where the driver – Mr. Semelka – was from) in the evening with the plane. It was too late so the driver offered dinner to those two military officers. They sat around fire (it was around April) , chatted and went to sleep. Next morning at 7:45 they showed up in Dolní Poustevna with the plane. The tiller of the plane really stuck out above the cabin of the truck. As a result they pulled down telephone wires twice. Once in Rumburk next to train station and the second time in Dolní Poustevna next to nursery (nowadays there is local municipality). They even had to backed a car to housing units at Šemberg and drive around local grocery store to next housing unit because around the nursery lead steam pipe-line for maintenance service, nursery and factory at borderline. Transport of the plane was really great show for kids, who just went to school. It would be a great show even nowadays. The truck drove to housing units by even more narrow road than there is today. The car was accompanied by a horde of kids and also a group of adults. They parked the truck at parking lot next to housing unit and guys from maintenance service showed up (after they drove out children to school) and everybody who could helped to unload all parts of the plane. Car despite warnings of locals went up to turn around the garage. The driver wanted to go to the meadow to Hamr, but since the car was too long it got stuck in a pit. Not before they got the help of tractor they were able to get the car out of there and probably around 11 o´clock it drove away. In the meantime the plane was shining on the parking lot in front of house garages. It was rebuilt perfectly. On one hand it was because those two soldiers that came with it (one of them was major and the younger one was lieutenant – unfortunately I don´t remember their names) and on the other hand because the help of maintenance guys (they got leave from work from 9 o´clock with tacit approval of then management). The plane was on the turntable for about three days, than it was moved by Mr. Miroslav Lebeda with old tracktor Zetor 25 to place where it stands till nowadays. It´s obvious that there was a lot of problems around this whole project. The children from our housing unit came up with idea, that they would collect from outside children copper 50 cent so they could climb on top of the plane. One crown was for going inside. Before the plane was firmly anchored, the children managed to swing it and turn it around. They almost drove it to the downtown. Nowadays when the tires are empty (without the option of getting new ones), the plane is moving nowhere. The plane was also moved when new sewer system was built underneath it (even nowadays it sinks little bit in former borrow pit. There was another funny story (one participant of it is still alive). He worked in forest and he took his chain saw home after work. One day he had fun with friends in Národní dum (pub) and when they went home they got great idea. They wanted to “resurrect” the plane without a motor with a motor from the chain saw (maybe for “pleasure” of one of their neighbors, who is in Heaven today). So one of them with chain saw slipped to the back of the plane and the other one was playing the role of navigator in the front. From aircraft came great rumble and people who owned telephone in that time could enjoy that particular neighbor who phoned almost everybody and yelled : “They want to steal our airplane, let´s go get them! “ The plane was and still is great toy for several generations of children, even if for some adults it´s thorn in their eye. But those adults don´t know what the life in housing unit is about and I think that the children that grew up in our housing unit had more fun playing around than had children elsewhere. I wish you nice reading and also muse about the idea that when people do something for somebody for free, it´s not stupid. The most important thing is that you are happy when thing is going well and when it is done for children it also helps communal life. In communal house units the life was different than in state owned or factory owned ones. I believe that´s true even nowadays.
