I discovered Grivitsa after returning home last year, and it was very high on my priority list as it's a haven for An-2 lovers. It is located 10 kms to the East of Pleven adjacent to Highway 3. The first thing you see is a long line of An-2s, twelve in all plus two more at the far end, and one in the hangar.
A lane takes you to the South main gate which was firmly locked (its was a Sunday), the security man and his two dogs came out of the hut to greet me.
After some sign language and pointing to my camera, and the An-2s he gave me a thumbs up. The aircraft are close to the fence here, you can also access the Northern perimeter using a track between the fence and Highway 3. It runs the entire length of the airfield.
From the South side up to the Gate ......
