We have made the literature/web search in order to find well observed limb flares seen by Yohkoh instruments. For the purpose of this study we have looked for flares associated with CME counterparts. Only few such events have been found and analysed (including compact and arcade type flares as seen on SXT images). In this contribution we present results illustrating several aspects of selected flare evolution. The results shown concern the morphology (SXT deconvolved images, HXT reconstructed images) and the flaring plasma dynamics as seen in transversal (from image cadences) and radial directions (from BCS spectral analysis). As the selected event has been observed over the limb, detailed investigation of vertical motions of the hot plasma is possible.
