More can be learnt about this heavily modified Yak 52TW, to which IMax cameras were attached, by searching 'Yakfire' in the web browser of your choice. Also www.spiritinthesky.co.uk, clearly had a hand in the European filming, and have posted some awesome images on their Instagram account as 'spiritinthesky.

In this short Youtube clip: 
...starting at 0.33, Yak devotees will notice familiar outlines.

Now N699DP is being carefully restored to less warlike condition in a quiet maintenance hangar 'somewhere near Hollywood'. Over the past few months, the Yak Collection is proud to have played a part in this refurbishment through the supply of various items from seats and canopies to pneumatic components. 

In the photo above, on the floor below the rear fuselage, the sheet metal turtle deck, (part of its previous Spitfire persona), has been removed.
