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.
