Air Café: A Unique Place in Brno, Czech Republic

[upnorth]

Hello all:

I though some of you might enjoy a look around a unique café that we have here in Brno, Czech Republic. It's called Air Café and they have a great collection of WWII paraphernalia on display, mostly focused on Czech airmen who served in the RAF. It's been around since 1999 and I paid my first visit to it in a few years yesterday.

Here's a few pictures and captions:

General view around showing some of the many period posters and photographs that line the walls.

Partial wing skin of an Avia BH-11, a 1920s era Czech touring aircraft used by the Czechoslovak military.

Wing skin fragment from a B-17 shot down over Czechoslovakia.

A couple of different one man inflatable life rafts used by RAF fighter pilots.

Display cases filled with uniforms and other preserved equipment.

Large scale Hurricane replica.

If you find yourself passing through Brno, stop in for a coffee and enjoy the ambiance:

Thanks! I'm the same guy who posted it on ARC.

Yesterday I was in Prague and checked out a similarly aviation themed restaurant and pub there:
