There is a Kaguj flying in France too, and it has been for quite some time.
Middle of last year it was up for sale £16,000 no takers ,considering it has everything on it including dummy bombs etc very surprised.
A very much underrated warbird that will blow your socks off the first time you take one up,an evil little performer goes up and down quicker than an OTIS lift.
either 45-50 minutes range if you are in a hurry or sit and loiter in the rank for up to 3 1/2 hours and drop in and spoil someones day occasionally.

I can confirm that it was at Sywell as I pushed it to the fuel pump and watched it beat up the airfield before leaving for home!!

If you read the notes under the youtube clip:
“Uploaded by chesterflyer on 8 Nov 2010 “
“This Yugoslavian Counter Insurgency Aircraft was restored over a 2 year period in Northumberland by Nick Stone. Here it is taking off for the first time for many years. A Northern Aviators Production”
The private airstrip is Stanton-Selby House, Northumberland 55°12’11″N, 1°48’1″W
Change to original post “was seen visiting Sywell last Friday”

From the serial 146 on the side, it is G-BSXD.
Permit valid until 24/6/2012.
Was seen at Sywell last Friday.
That is Simon Johnsons aircraft based at Linton on Ouse so hardly likely to be in Yugoslavia as he has definitely not sold it.The only others in the uk besides mine 30131 are G-RADA last heard of rotting in the back of a hangar at Biggin Hill and G-SOKO live and well at Fenland. So the Yugoslavian connection with the original posting seems a bit spurious ??. Unless it is just to comment on the type and origin the hangar in the background does not look like Sywell ?.

Is that not YA-YAA it was flying but had a mishap (ground loop I think) and had to have some extensive work to put it back into the air ??.
The only other one that could fly if 30113 that we had negotiated to buy but the authorities have put a block on any further restorations of the type or even export !!!.
