Built in Mostar in 1977 Entering Service that Year, Being Flown in Squadron Service on 466, 462 Squadrons at AFB Lucko Until 1986 When it was Returned to the Air Force Institute for a Major Overhaul, Then Placed in Storage Until 1990 When it was Imported to the United Kingdom. This Unique Aircraft Currently the Only Airworthy Example of its Type in the UK is Operated on a Popular Flying Association Permit to Fly Making it a Very Affordable Warbird to Maintain and Operate. The Original Design Enabled the Aircraft to Operate Form Unprepared Strips, Roads, Fields. The Eastern Block Rugged Airframe was Constructed to Take a lot of Rough Landings. However the Kraguj was Coupled with More Reliable Western Technology Having a Lycoming GSO0480 and a Hartzell Constant Speed Propeller Fitted. The Aircraft was Restored to Airworthiness in 2007 and is Supplied with a Current Permit to Fly and an Exemption Certificate to Enable it to Fly in Yugoslavian Air Force Markings. The Aircraft was Originally Designed to Enable Low Houred Service Pilots to Fly the Kraguj with a Limited Amount of Conversion Time, Although the Kraguj was Never Designed to Be a Trainer the Aircraft is Easy to Fly, as a Warbird on a PFA Permit(Experimental Certificate) to Fly Gives Unrivalled Value.
