Washing Machine Charlie.

The last thing the North Korea expected- or wanted to see - was a massive build up of UN air power to contest their invasion of South Korea. But, that's what they got. Fuck around and find out. The IL-10, Yak-9 and La-7 fighters the North Koreans sent south across the 38th parallel in June of 1950 would soon be eaten alive by US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aircraft, as well as British air force and navy planes, Australian Air Force and navy planes, and South African Air Force planes. Even with the addition of MiG 15 jet fighters in late 1950, North Korea struggled in the air-to-air fight, as the majority of their planes were forced to operate out of China where UN forces could not touch them. As the war turned into a stalemate, North Korea sought to gain some kind of advantage in the air. They did so by arming training airplanes and sending them out at night to harass UN lines. Known as "Washing Machine Charlies" due to the noise that their engines made, Yakovlev 18's would bomb on or near UN targets, making for sleepless nights. This little bird was fun to put together.

airsLLide No. 17429: RA-87222, Yakovlev 40, Yamal Airlines, Ekaterinburg, August 20, 1999.

In Russian, airports are called Aerovokzal, which literally translates into Airline Station. Especially older terminals from the 1950s do indeed often look like skillfully ornamented neoclassical train stations with rather limited space and mostly windowless waiting areas, the towered building in the background being one such example.

Yamal Airlines is based in the far North of Siberia, in the town of Salekhard near the river Ob's river mouth into the Kara Sea. At the turn of the millenium, the airline still flew a purely Sovjet-era fleet of Antonov 24/26, Antonov 74, Tupolev 134, Tupolev 154 and Yak 40. The switch to Western built Boeing 737-500 and A320 jets only began around 2007.

Rob Fry's Yak-52 at Tauranga after completing a 5 ship formation display with the Pauanui based display team. Taken at 1/25, ƒ/16, ISO 80.

msn 867002 was taken on strength/charge with the DOSAAF as s/n 113 / yellow 113. It ended up in Lituhania as a civil aircraft with the c/r LY-ALK at some point, probably after the fall of the USSR.

It was sold to Jurgis Kairys, who re-registered it as LY-BJK (purportedly meaning Bravo Jurgis Kayris) and formed his own aerobatics team the Air Bandits.

The team displayed in Eruope and Asia, and as it so happened Rob was living in Japan while the team was displaying.

He joined the team and, in 2022, imported BJK to Aotearoa, giving it the c/r ZK-BJK.

It now lives at Dairy Flat alongside ZK-DSJ, RUS, and YAX.

Infamous diaries of Nicolas II and Alexandra Fedorovna (Part 1):

During my research and unofficial investigation of the 'murder' case of Nicolas II and his Family, I paid attention to the fact that the only continuous source of the first hand information produced at the time of the unfolding of the events that people can refer to in the case of supposed 'murder' are the diaries of 1917-1918 of Nicolas II and Alexandra Fedorovna.

Please note, that these diaries were not available for N. A. Sokolov and Kolchak to read. They had second-hand information only, meaning somebody heard that somebody had said something.

Considering this fact, one needs to ask the following question: And how reliable are the notes in the diaries of Nicolas II and Alexandra Fedorovna?

And another question: Why do we trust what is written there?

Let's have a look at couple of discrepancies related to their diaries which occurred already in March 1917:

On 2 March 1917, Nicolas II abdicates - noted in his diary on 2nd of March 1917.

On 3 March 1917 Alexandra Fedorovna heard about the news and spoke with him on the phone - noted in her diary on 3rd of March 1917 as 'spoke with N.'

The same event in the diary of Nicolas II marked as 'spoke with my people'.

On 4 March 1917 Alexandra Fedorovna spoke with Nicolas II again - marked in her diary as 'at 4pm spoke with N.'

On the same day, in the diary of Nicolas II there is no mention of talking to his wife on the phone but a mention of two telegrams received from Alexandra Fedorovna.

What is even more interesting is the fact that Alexandra Fedorovna in the period from 3 March to end of July 1917 made only a handful of entries in her dairy. Yet, Nicolas II was keeping his diary every day without a break.

The question that arises: Why does, in the same period of time, one person keeps the dairy and another one not?

And here is another very interesting turn: as soon as the Family left Tsarksoe selo and they knew they were going to Tobolsk, Alexandra Fedorovna started keeping her diary everyday without a fail, as well as Nicolas II.

Would not it be logical to be more 'private' and careful about their thoughts, routines, and events in the face of the unknown fate?

And yet another discrepancy - quite glaring actually - in Tobolsk, in April 1918, on the hearing that an agent, Yakovlev, from Moscow, is coming to Tobolsk, the daughters of Nicolas II started burning letters and even burnt their dairies, yet neither Nicolas II nor his wife were concerned about their diaries.

Nicolas II diary:

9 April 1918

'We learnt about the arrival of Extraordinary Plenipotentiary Yakovlev from Moscow; he settled in the Kornilovsky house. The children imagined that he would come to conduct a search today, and they burnt all the letters, and Maria and Anastasia even burnt their diaries. [...]'

What is it? Naivety? Recklessness? Or Nicolas II and Alexandra Fedorovna knew something their children did not?

The Yak-18: trainer aircraft to the Eastern Bloc, "hit those running dogs of imperialism with this because it's all we have" aircraft to North Korea.

Ive started a new project- the Yak-18 "Max". Better known as "Washing Machine Charlie" to soldiers of the United Nations fighting on the ground during the Korean War. The motor of the airplane sounded like one of those old gasoline-powered washing machines (so the story goes.) It's an easy kit but needs a lot of trimming/cleaning up of the "flash" plastic that seeps out from between the mold dies. The cockpit was super bare-bones, but I solved that by adding control sticks made from .031 diameter soldering wire, and yellow masking tape cut into small sections and painted to look like seatbelts.
