View Full Version : Peoples Republic of China Green Yak
I saw what look like a Yak-52 in the Green Peoples Republic of China Air Force colour scheme at Shoreham airshow. Does anyone know the history of it, what it is, registration info etc etc?
Thanks

There was a Nanchang CJ-6A there on Saturday- there's at least two on the UK register this one (http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?categoryid=60&pagetype=65&applicationid=1&mode=detail&aircrafttype=CJ-6A&dataindex=0) and G-BXZB.
thanks treadders, I knew I could count on you! it was the first one, G-BVVG that was there

No sweat mate - although it's been here for years, I think it was the first time I'd ever seen it in the flesh...
Enjoy the show? Did you you get any pics? Weather was a wee bit garish with all that haze!
I had actually seen the aircraft in question at Woodchurch a few weeks back but didn't get any pictures of it that were any good. It was nice to see it at Shoreham.

The Shoreham pics will be up later tonight, just finishing sorting them out! Gimme half an hour and I'll post a link to them
