Not to be the bearer of bad news but the Yak 3 had an incident on landing and won’t be flying again anytime soon. The right wing and landing gear were ripped off the plane.
Yes, i missed the incident as it was at the very beginning of the show. Took our seats whilst it was waiting to be removed.
The Yak in my photos is the second one at the show. Called the Reno racer as it apparently did very well recently at the Reno? Air races. The number 35 in the roundel is a nod to Bert Monroe and his "Fastest Indian" motorcycle.
Today have been at working bee for Warbirds Association. Lots of painting of walls.
However also moving around various aircraft including a 1912 B.E.2 and a Fokker triplane!
BE2 did a flight. I think i could run faster than it on takeoff. Not so much flying but crawling around the aerodrome!
Lovely day so able to take H3NRI along to commune with similar period conveyances
