Hi Garry, yes this is one and the same a/c, they hoped to have it ready for WoW but the engine which was being restored in Romania took about 6 months longer to finish than was thought, looks like a mean wee beastie 😀

At the last “Warbirds over Wanaka” airshow they had what was variously described as a La-9 and a La-11 in the program. Unfortunately it didn’t make an appearance.
I assume this is what they were talking about as they mentioned it was Chinese.
