Polish literature states that SZD-8 Jaskolka gliders were exported to the Soviet Union in the 1950s -- the number of machines is not quoted but I have up to 12 c/ns which could be these. Also it is possible that a few more SZD-12 Mucha 100 and SZD-9bis Bocians than those noted above were delivered.
