The Yak 3 did not return to Lashenden after the accident at Pent farm.

is the yak 3 that was damaged in the landing incident a few years ago still there?

If so – is it being repaired??

Stopped there on the way back from Hastings a couple of years ago.
There was an air race going on. Very good museum.
