This profile represents an aircraft of unknown unit after a forced landing.
 

The painting of the plane is uncertain, one can see some traces of camo, apparently without any number. The most interesting characteristic of this plane is the tail ski replacing the tail wheel. Probably the main landing gear was equipped with wheels, as usual. Its characteristic seem to be: it is a late type aircraft, probably with slats; it has the inert gas pipe on the left exhaust stacks; equipped with full radio equipment.
