I too have drooled over that lovely Yak 11 at North Weald, which, I gather, is air testing for addition to the Brit register. I suspect that your best bet for getting stick time in one of these birds might be via Mark Jefferies' Yak dealership at Little Gransden. Think they may be on the web as Yak UK something or other. They might say that they are not interested unless you arrive clutching 100 big smackers to buy the beast, but, you never know, they might be interested in renting out an hour or so dual at some heinous rate, if such a thing may be done lawfully (as to which I have no clue). No harm asking, I suppose. If you get any joy, let me know as I might be tempted to shell out a few readies for the same purpose. The other Yak lot are up at Halfpenny Green. Don't know if they've got any 11s.
PS: didja see the ad for the Yak 9 shares at 20K plus 180 a month? Can't bear to think what the hourly cost will be...
PPS: v envious of an acquaintance who recently got the warbird people at Wanaka NZ to devise him a bespoke package consisting of Moth to Harvard to P-51 over a 3 day period. Maybe take a trip to NZ and do that as it wasn't as sily money as you might think.
