Mark has flown in the Al Ain Aerobatic air show taking part in the JK cup and the Aero GP series over the years. Al Ain is a fertile oasis city located approximately 160 kilometres east of the Abu Dhabi capital. Its name (“the spring” in Arabic) derives from its originally plentiful supply of fresh water, which makes its way underground across most of the plain lying before the Omani mountains – The Abu Dhabi tourist authority (ADTA) stage the show annual in the January sun, typically 24′c. Well worth a visit.

Wanaka, New Zealand
Mark Jefferies has flown for Sir Tim Wallis at Warbirds over Wanaka, New Zealand on two occasions flying the YAK 50 in 1996 and 1998. A short Youtube video here The Yak-50 was developed in 1975 to provide Soviet competitors with a new aircraft for the aerobatic competition. The aircraft follows the line begun with the post-war Yak-18. It debuted successfully at the 8th World Aerobatic Championships at Kiev in 1976 – winning the first two men’s places and first five women’s. The aircraft has subsequently been used by flying schools and the DOSAAF aeroclubs. Production ceased in 1985 in favour of the two seat Yak-52 and single seat Yak-55. The example illustrated below, ZK-YAC (c/n852904) was built in late 1985, and is therefore one of the last completed. It served with the DOSAAF organisation, accumulating 46 hours. Removed from service and stored as surplus, the aircraft was acquired by Yak UK Ltd after being overhauled at the end of 1994. The aircraft was entered on the Lithuanian register as LY-ANQ before joining the UK register as G-BWCF. Acquired by the Alpine Fighter Collection, the aircraft was displayed at the 1996 and 1998 Warbirds over Wanaka airshows by Yak UK…

Aircraft
Extra 330sc The Extra 330SC (single competition) is the top of the range awesome aerobatic aircraft with +10/-10 G limits. G-IIHI, it is one of the first of its type to be built, its serial number is 008 and it is entirely in a class of its own. It is fitted with the newly certified Lycoming AE10-580 engine which has been specifically developed for high performance aerobatic aircraft. The engine produces an impressive 320hp (580 cubic inches but only turning at 2700 rpm) which when you consider there is no ground resistance, is quite incredible. Its maximum diving speed is 418 km/h and it has an incredibly fast roll rate of 420 degrees per second. If the weather conditions are right, the aircraft can be seen to hover and in the right hands, it really does performs manoeuvres that should not be possible! Mark Jefferies is one of the few pilots that can fly this aircraft to its limits! As well as its sporty paint scheme, the Extra 330SC has a unique smoke system fitted which enables smoke to be “pulsed” out, offering something different to air show audiences. With the latest technology cameras fitted to the aircraft, live footage…

Mark Jefferies – Champion aerobatic pilot Being trained by highly respected Alan Cassidy and former World Champion Eric Vazeille considerable skills have been learnt, Mark frequently studies his flying videos to see what’s spectacular from a crowds point of view by doing this he discovers new figures and combinations, this is especially true now with the Extra 330SC who’s power to weight ratio is virtually 1:1 Words cant describe the abilities and spectacle of Marks flying, other display pilots stand asking themselves how on earth was that flown, what’s happening aerodynamically.
