Civil Register Update

Register Review
The New Allocations section is made up of 42 aircraft this issue, the larger than normal nwnber being the result of three months coverage instead of the usual one month. Sixty one aircraft are shown in the deletions section, so even after taking into account eight restorations, this still means a drop in the nwnber of aircraft on the civil register over the Christmas period.
The most interesting aircraft to join the register, especially for warbird and air show fans would have to be the appropriately registered MiG-21 XXI. The Russian design team of Artem Vikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich combined during the 1930s to produce the MiG-1, a single seat high altitude open cockpit propeller driven fighter which first flew on April 5 1940. Between 1940 and the beginning of WWII the pair had designed and flown two more types, the MiG-3 and MiG-5. During the war Mikoyan and Gurevich designed their first turbojet fighter the MiG-9 Fargo, a single engined single seat machine which earned the designers the Stalin Prize.
