Help! Someone’s stolen our 60ft vintage Soviet biplane

AT 60ft long it’s hard to imagine it would be easy to hide a vintage Soviet troop-transport plane.

At least, that is the hope of a couple who have asked the gardaí to investigate its disappearance from their land in West Cork.

The Antonov 2 biplane is believed to have been taken in the past few days from Les and Deirdre Carter’s land at Ards in the Mealagh Valley near Bantry.
