What happened to Eddie Coventry's original Yak?

Eddie had an original Yak 3 that was recovered from Russia, it was in a pretty sorry state and missing it's data plate and ID. After being stored outside at Earls Colne for a little while the majority of it was packed up and sent to America to I believe Jean Garric, this happened at around the same time that Eddie decided to get out of Warbirds (96-97) and sold G-OYAK and the Spitfire G-OXVI. He still has Yak 11 G-IYAK for sale which completed it's test program a couple of years ago but hasn't flown since, but is maintained and run regularly.

Hope this helps
