Yakovlev Yak-52

01/22/2007. Remarks by Malcolm Lowe: "This aircraft was built in 1988 and delivered to the Soviet AF, after the desintegration of the Soviet Union the aircraft was transferred to the Russian AF where it was coded 99. It came on the Russian civil register as RA-44463; since July 25, 2003, it is owned by RNAEC Ltd. of Christchurch, Dorset. Its strange pseudo-Royal Navy colour scheme resembles a Royal Navy-operated Hawker Sea Fury, and the wording beneath the horizontal tail reads 'RN Aero Club'."
