As it so happens, I had just dug out the radio licence for the Yak in preparation for the documents all present and correct exercise to enable the CAA to tell us it is still built like a brick exterior convenience.
It states on the front;
"The license also authorises the use of Aeronautical VHF hand portable radio equipment operating in the frequency band 118 to 137 for use on the above named aircraft"
No mention of 'CAA approved'....I just need to be able to carry it by hand.
There is a lot of small print below that though.
