Яковлев Як-3

 

 

  Previously one of the Yak 11 ex Egypt, it was sent to Russia for conversion to a Yak 3 ( 3 & 11 shared many design features including wing assemblies )  Fitted with Allison V1710 because of lack of availability of original Klimov V12. After major structural work was completed in Russia - returned to Duxford in UK where detail work was completed and UKCAA paperwork issued for the work done.

Apart from the Allison, the aircraft is very close to authentic Yak 3 specs, unlike the later "Reproduction" Yak 3's and 9's that has a totally different spec on the wing construction.

Our job was to amalgamate the work done to date and assemble, paint, certify and fly the completed aircraft.
