There’s a report in the ‘other’ aviation monthly that the 70+ aircraft in Jerry Yagen’s collection (including the Mosquito!) are to be sold on.
Sad news indeed.

Isn’t that all about to go **** up as well owing to financial shenanigans with Evergreen etc?

According to what I’ve just read the FW190 is on its way to Oregon, to an un-named buyer.

I guess there is another side of this,the loss of jobs that came with the collection.

B-17 “Chuckie” and Fw 190 have been sold too, seen at Platinum Fighters

If you have a look on Facebook at Kermit Weeks, you’ll see he’s just visited MAM and the stock of aircraft bits and pieces fills a hanger or two. Some serious moneys worth takes f’sure! Then add an aeroplane or two into the equation and that IS serious money!!!

Rod Lewis What a wonderful collection http://www.lewisairlegends.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Lord-Of-The-Warbirds-Forbes.pdf
We can only hope some of Jerry Yagens collection can make it over here.

The Mossie has gone to him, f’sure. All the other aircraft have been sold, from what I’ve been told.
Have a look at the Rod Lewis web site www.lewisairlegends.com

I rather doubt all will be sold to one person. Few have the desire, need, or cash ($20 million+?) for such a large transaction. Yegen’s collection is rather eclectic, with a lot of WWI replicas as well as the WWII aircraft…not many collectors have such a broad approach (Kermit Weeks excepted). Most seem to concentrate on one era or the other.

Big shock, Lets hope a few of his collection end up in Briton.
