The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch was originally a Nazi German spy plane, but remained in production long after the fall of the Nazi regime, with a number of variants and manufacturers. It is often credited with being one of the first purpose-built STOL aircraft, simply because it has enough lift to take off and land in a very short distance, in spite of its conventional design. I don't know the background of this particular aircraft, but I noted that its cockpit appeared to be fully modern. The newest version of the Storch that I found online was this one:

The Slepcev is only 3/4 the size of the original, which looks close to the size of the aircraft in the photo.

This is one of the hangars at the Rokycany airport. For a sport airport that can only service the smallest aircraft, Rokycany has ampler facilities than average, including a tower and snack bar.
