Albania. Vlorë County. Kuçovë (Kuçova) is known for its oil industry. Oil derrick in a graveyard. The deceased man was a MIG pilot, reason why a plane is drawn on the tombstone. Since 2005 the Albania’s air force has ceased flying the aged MiG fighters provided by the Soviet Union and China. MIG are military aircrafts produced by Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG, formerly Mikoyan, which is a Russian aircraft manufacturer. Working oil pump among the tombs. A picture of man on a tomb. Real and plastic flowers used for decoration. A derrick is a lifting device composed at minimum of one guyed mast, as in a gin pole, which may be articulated over a load by adjusting its guys. Most derricks have at least two components, either a guyed mast or self-supporting tower, and a boom hinged at its base to provide articulation, as in a stiffleg derrick. Kuçovë (Kuçova) is a municipality in south-central Albania. 6.10.2024 © 20124 Didier Ruef
