Let L-200 Morava
The Let L-200 Morava is a twin-engine, four-to-five-seat touring and liaison aircraft that Czechoslovakia's Let Kunovice built from the mid-1950s into the 1960s, one of the few Eastern Bloc light twins produced in real numbers for both civilian aero clubs and state agencies. Its low, straight wing and retractable tricycle undercarriage gave it a fairly modern look for its era, while its two engines offered redundancy the more common single-engine trainers of the region lacked. Exported across the Eastern Bloc and beyond, it served aero clubs, air-taxi operators, and paramilitary flying organisations, and surviving examples still fly on the vintage-aircraft circuit in Central Europe today.
