Glad you got a good one of the Yak3 Tweek :thumbsup: Would you believe this is a NEW build :o :o The Yakolev company still had the jigs for the original aircraft and did a limited run. This could only happen in Russia :rock:

Here's a few of mine..

Love the first one Dave... I really like the classic shape spits, and you've caught her very nicely indeed. :thumbsup:

Z-DB mate. Holds a very special place for me for a variety of reasons. It was Ray Hanna's.. Lee Proudfoot was piloting it there and he gave me the top banana 'Breitling Fighters' stickers that adorn my ZX9R (one reason not to sell it) and.. I've spent a while polishing this aircraft (with Helen and around half a dozen other volunteers) some years back when OFMC was still riding high :rock:

That Yak was astounding. I've never seen anything with a propeller move as fast as that thing did.

Indeed, it was like a rocket. Had trouble panning fast enough :lol:

On a slightly more slower note, the Piper Cubs did a rather enjoyable display. :lol:

Amazing shots guys :dancer:

If Supermarne still existed and had some Spit Jigs, just imagine what those A/C could do....... ;-)

Not much really, to be honest in the UK Airshow circuit you fall over spits as you try to get to the interesting aircraft ;-)
