Mikoyan–Gurevich MiG-15UTI

---

In the very next parking spot was another MiG-15 — this one a MiG-15UTI. Note that it is a two-seater and thus was used as a trainer. Here is the rear end of the aircraft showing the speed brake in the closed position — complete with a danger warning above it. It is also interesting to note this flight-worthy MiG-15 is powered by a Rolls-Royce engine. I assume that during the refurbishment, it was easier, and perhaps safer, to obtain the British engine than to acquire the inferior Soviet copy.
