Yak-9P

Does anyone know if any Yak-9P's are left or are in museums?

Re: Yak-9P

Yes , there are four :
one on display at the Yakovlev OKB Museum in Moskva (Moscow)
this machine is often 'borrowed' by the Zhukovskiy Institute and can be seen at Monino.
the are two in Poland , one in Warsaw and the other in Krakow.
the final one is on display in Sofia , Bulgaria

Re: Yak-9P

Monino's aircraft is an ex-Bulgarian or Rumanian I believe. In Poland, one is in Warsaw and another in Gdynia.

that shows you that I have never been to Poland :o
I would be very interested in any info you have about the 'past life' of any of these museum treasures.

Re: Yak-9P

If you get Classic Wings issue 46, it has all known surviving original Yaks, and what is known (after considerable research, which often didn't turn up very much!) about them.

Here is one that has recently arrived in the UK.

I photographed it a few weeks back.

Of course that may be the reason for your request.:)

Re: Yak-9P

Peter,
Thank You for posting that very nice image !

may I ask a question ?

is there a Soviet Production number on this plane?
the middle three digits would be 153 or 166.

This isn't really my field of expertise but I was told it was the 35th one down the production line if that helps.

Re: Yak-9P

The so-called Yak-9P that recently arrived in the UK is definitely not a Yak-9P. This was the same aircraft that Richard Goode had tried to sell for a number of years as a Yak-9U. The data plate is not a main data plate, it is a plate from a system or component of an aircraft, of which that are over 100 on the aircraft. The are supple differences on the airframe that are not on a P model. It was exported out of Russia as a "full scale model airplane", not as a Yak-9P. The engine and its cowling are not P.
The aircraft was put together from a number of Yak parts.
