Country:  | 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.

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

Country: | 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

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

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