Hope a theme as Londoners gather to mark one year of war in Ukraine

At the Jet Aircraft Museum, a recently-acquired nose section of a MiG-29 fighter jet was unveiled for invited guests before an open house on Saturday. A restored MiG-29 with the colours of the Ukrainian Air Force Demonstration Team when they visited Canada in 1992 is on display at the Jet Aircraft Museum in London.The artifact, acquired from CFB Bagotville in Quebec, has been restored in the colours of the Ukrainian Air Force Demonstration Team, which visited Canada in 1992 and flew at the London Airshow, among other locations.The nose jet has been an object of fascination for the museum for around six years, said officials.
Mike Kestle, a volunteer with the museum that helped restore the nose jet, said the community played a significant role in getting the jet — built in the late 1980s — back up to presentable conditions. Many of the speakers at the event commented on the symbolism of the paint job the jet now bears. When the Ukrainian Air Force Demonstration Team visited Canada in 1992, it was not only the first time MiG-29s had been flown in North America but also a demonstration to the world that Ukraine was a free country following the breakup of the U.S.S.R.
