About this audio guide
This guide to the National Military Museum in Bucharest begins with a spring onion carried into orbit in May 1981 by Dumitru Prunariu, a twenty-nine-year-old air force engineer. It follows his launch from Baikonur beside a Soviet colonel, the docking with Salyut 6, and a bottle of Romanian brandy. Listen in the aviation and space hall, where the exhibits are close at hand.
