| Video Discription | A pair of Yakovlev fighter aircraft, Yak-3M, G-OLEG, owned and flown by Will Greenwood and 46 Aviation's Yak-9UM, HB-RYA, flown by Emiliano Del Buono, on the first day of the Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2019. Yak-3M, G-OLEG - The Yakovlev Yak-3 was a World War II Russian fighter developed from the Yak-1. First flown in 1943 it proved to be a very capable dogfighter with outstanding maneuverability and a high rate of climb. It’s robustness and ease of maintenance meant it was much loved by pilots and crew alike. In combat the Yak-3 proved its superiority over German fighters, destroying 15 Luftwaffe aircraft for only one loss of its own in its first battle. The addition of the Klimov VK-107 1,700 horsepower engines increased performance further to give a top speed of 450 mph. Since 1991, a number of new build Yak-3s have been manufactured by Yakovlev for the warbird market, using original plans and dies. These are powered by Allison V-1710 engines and have the designation Yak-3M In 1991, Yakovlev Design Bureau signed a contract with the Gunnell Museum in Santa Monica, California. This contract provided for the production of twenty replicas of the Yak-3 fighter for private customers in the United States and other countries of the world. Strela Aircraft, Orenburg appointed as the project manager with Yakovlev, chief engineer - V.M. Nazarov and test pilots - A.S. Vyatkin and Yu.I. Mitikov. In 1992, at the Strela, Orenburg manufacturing plant, the production of Yak-3M aircraft (American designation Yak-3UA ) began. This aircraft features all-metal construction with elements made of composite materials, no armament, an Allison 2L engine (reconditioned V-1710), a Hamilton Standard propeller, modern flight and navigation and radio equipment. The aircraft were intended mainly for museums and private collectors, as well as for participating in various air shows. As of September 2001, 12 aircraft had been manufactured. The estimated cost of one aircraft is US $500,000. Yak-3M 0470202 was made in 1994 at the Strela, Orenburg factory and delivered to Germany, where it was registered D-FLAK. One of very few two seater examples G-OLEG was purchased by current owner Will Greenwood from Max Alpha Aviation GmbH at Bremgarten, southern Germany and relocated to her new base in the UK. The aircraft is painted in the markings of a Normandie-Niemen Regiment aircraft, as flown by Free French Air Force pilots on the Russian Eastern Front. Yak-9UM, HB-RYA The Yak 9 was a Soviet Union fighter aircraft during World War II, appearing on the battle front from the end of 1942. This aircraft earned a mean reputation amongst its competitors, particularly due to it’s exceptional performance at low level altitude. The Luftwaffe even advised their pilots to avoid engaging with the Yak 9. According to sources from those who flew this aircraft, the performance was comparable to that of the P-51D Mustang, Spitfire IX, Focke-Wulf FW19OA and BF109. The Russian Warbird’s small size and high power to weight ratio is extremely impressive to watch. The beautiful aircraft is agile, powerful, tight turning, manouvreable and will even out climb the P51 Mustang! This Yak was rebuilt in 1999, using original parts and jigs, keeping an important piece of history flying! Both of these aircraft were newly manufactured by Yakovlev in the early 1990s, as part of a limited production run for the warbird market of Yak-9 and Yak-3 aircraft using original World War II equipment, but with Allison V-1710 engines instead of the original Russian engines which were no longer available. Use of the Allison engines means that they have counter clockwise-rotation propellors, unlike the originals which used clockwise-rotation propellors.
