An abandoned Soviet naval testing station in the Caspian Sea This naval armament testing station is 2.7 kilometers (1.6 miles) away from the Caspian Sea shore, off the coast of Makhachkala in Dagestan, Russia. The station was built in 1939 but hasn't been used in a long time, being decommissioned by 1966. The underground part of the structure has a capacity of 530,000 cubic meters.

There is an AN-2 at the Dover AFB MAC Museum although I heard they were trying to get rid of it because it is a budget black hole that has no association with the base or MAC. Last word was they were going to give it to the War Relics Shop in Argo's Corner/Milford DE just before the Chyna flu shutdowns. The wings have to be removed for transport as Wide Load trailer for the 20 mile trip south of the base.

The Vostok Amphibia diver's watch is a perfect example. Open one up and you may very well find finger smudges and metal mill shavings stuck in the oil to the case interior like I did in mine. I have often wished that a well known watch house would license Vostok's design and make a high-quality, properly manufactured Amphibia...and it would be fucking awesome.
