Soko Kraguj 30131

As promised to a few here are some photo’s hot off the press of our Soko Kraguj P2 Sparrowhawk 30131. As she appeared for the first time in her new paint in the sunshine today.

Still looking for parts if anyone comes accross any.The UTVA 66 uses the same wings,tail,and engine and prop. The engine GSO 480 is also used in Dornier Do 27A and Queen air and one of the baron family (apparantly).

Looking good, is she being restored to airworthiness. Only ever seen one example in flight and would love to see one flying again. Noisy little beasts though.

Forgot all about this Mike, if you look in Flypast, this and last months there is a advert running on page 83 ( this month) for some unairworthy Orpheus engine without paperwork from Italy, if you read the ad, they have Lyocoming GSO 480’s available too.

Thumbs Up!

A massive transformation from seeing her at Eshott in June… Keep it up Mike!
