@nfg495 "The cameras were in the wing tank?,..."
Here they are. I believe all J-21 Jastrebs in Serbia are downed now, but I am not 100% sure.:-wave

And here are lot of J-21 (all of variants) and G-2 too, all parked around MJV (Museum of aviation, Airport Nikola Tesla, Belgrade). First photo is a mosaic photo made from the window of the restaurant, and the other is taken before when airplanes were still in shadow and had a thin film of ice on them. Lot of them are in good condition, and in museum they say that this airplanes are for sale (?).
