I am not entirely sure if it was built in Russia, or a former Soviet state,
although I believe the latter
Might that have been East Germany as it was?

No, definitely what was the USSR.

I'm out on this one and running around in circles.

I see three others on line so I'll check back later to see if any of them have found it.

Further clues....1974 design. Tail and wings came from a KAI-12 glider.

Closing down now for the night. Usual rules apply

It looks to me like you've nailed it mate ; a case of Library 1 Internet 0, but I wonder if it's got an alias 'coz I still can't find the bugger :

Gotta go now as work calls so can't search anymore!

Thanks mate, didn't google for me either, but I'm sure there's a simple explanation. Even if it is, it'll have to open house as I have a few computer issues and I'm cooking Sushi tonight.

Cheers.

Morning all/evening Graeme.
It is the RKIIGA-74, aka Riga-74, so Graeme has it If you google it you'll find pictures. Graeme's photo unfortunately identifies it as the RK11GA-74 which has no doubt lead to drawing a blank on a internet search.






Noyade has control

Non-traditional Sushi mate. Marinated cooked chicken in chilli and/or teriyaki sauce, mixed with roasted/barbecued vegetables - zucchini, carrot, capsicum, chillies, pumpkin, etc and squeezed out using a Sushi gun....

Presently - Lindeman's Bin 45 Cabernet Sauvignon.

I took your advice from last year, never buy cardboard casks.
