LET C-11 (aka Yak-11) G-BTUB

Mark Jefferies & John Jefferies

The C-11 is powered by a 730hp Shvetsov ASL-21 radial engine, giving a maximum speed of 295mph and a range of 800 miles. A later development of the Yak-11 was the U-model, which featured tricycle undercarriage. The U-model was designed to train jet fighter pilots.

The aircraft seen here was originally a C.11 built in Czechoslovakia in 1956, and exported to Egypt. It was acquired for restoration in 1984 by Yak UK Ltd.
