Hi all,
Well it has been amazing couple of month. First we had the P40 Kittyhawk discovery, then the He219 recovery, the Ju87 that turned out to be a Ju88 and the remarkable He115 from Norway.
As the news is on the web, now another, thanks to IKAR search group.
regards
Mark
PS Hopefully another one in July as well. Summer 2012 has been fun though wish I had more time to cover all these in detail!

Is the Yak 1 a picture of the 1990 recovery of the one now for sale by HAC and has a article about it in the ‘other mag’ this month?
No

Tom Woodhouse might be able to update, PPS were working on it for a UK based Kiwi. A ‘bitsa’ in reality IIRC.

Whatever happened to the original Yak-9 that was supposedly brought to the UK and offered for sale by Richard Goode some years back?

Looks like an Il-2 and possibly a Yak-1 to me…

Nice. Wish my fishing expeditions were that good!:)
I hope these two go to good homes.
