Not one that I normally hear much about, so I don't know if there are more in the UK. But considering some were built for the British to start with, I would guess there are probably a couple in either the UK or the former commonwealths.

ollieholmes · Dec 18, 2005

Does anyone know if there are any others in the world?

pbfoot · Dec 18, 2005

the canadian warbird heritage has one and i believe there is one in edmonton

ollieholmes · Dec 18, 2005

Do those 2 fly? The one i photographed saparently has flwon but does not at the moment.

pbfoot · Dec 18, 2005

the one at the cwh does fly and the other in edmonton is listed as airworthy in the aicraft register

ollieholmes · Dec 18, 2005

What are they like to fly? Stable i guess?

evangilder · Dec 19, 2005

If they fly anything like the Texan, they are smooth and forgiving.

pbfoot · Dec 19, 2005

I am trying to find out but if my memory serves me correct they had some inherent problem. When certified they are considered an experimental classification

Nonskimmer · Dec 19, 2005

Well, they were a cheap wartime knock-off of a Texan/Harvard after all. A few instabilities might be expected.

evangilder · Dec 19, 2005

Most warbirds get registered as experimental. There are inherent advantages to doing it that way.

ollieholmes · Dec 19, 2005

I think it looks prettier than the Harvard/texan myself.

evangilder · Dec 19, 2005

There is very little difference between the 2 except for fixed landing gear.

pbfoot · Dec 19, 2005

the yale is a bit smaller

ollieholmes · Dec 19, 2005

Ive not noticed the Exaust down the side on a Harvard.

pbfoot · Dec 19, 2005

yeah its got differnt engine I'll ask my source about the diiferences tues

ollieholmes · Dec 19, 2005

Am i the only one that thinks it is a nice looking aeroplane.

Nonskimmer · Dec 19, 2005

I don't think it's bad looking, myself.

pbfoot · Dec 19, 2005

i found out that the major difference was the wing its totally different coupled with the lower power did not make the yale the step needed from basic to advanced trainer

ollieholmes · Dec 19, 2005

What is different with the wing? Section?

I'd say that's kind of a big deal, wouldn't you? Still, they muddled through I suppose.
