Cool, I’m surprised you haven’t found someone to import it into Aussie John.
Where is it based at the moment? Wanaka?

Hi
I think the La9 will stay in NZ for a while more – just a rumor but I heard it was staying.
Regards
John

You may laugh, just wait until we find a pair of RR Peregrines and get that Westland Whirlwind flying – well I can dream can’t I?

Unfortunately the OFMC La9 is in New Zealand.
Unfortunate for you maybe 😀

Unfortunately the OFMC La9 is in New Zealand. To be honest I don’t think she will be coming back which is a pity

Ah, thanks Mike. I thought it was a new thread. I didn’t see the dates. Cheers.

Doesn’t Kermit Weeks have an La9 or La11? Seem to recall hearing something along those lines.
Kermit owns a La9 I’ve seen it up and close.
Cheers

Is the OFMC LA-9 back in England again? Or is the list just out of date? Last I read it was here in New Zealand.

There are a small number of survivang La-9s and 11’s in static condition,most of them in China,where they are nearly all on outdoor display.There was an article about late-series Lavochkins in Aeroplane a couple of months back which had a survivors listing I can dig out for you.I’ll dig it out and post again later…
