Well last I heard was that Garth Hogan was now part owner of the LA-9 so I'm unsure if we'll see it in the UK this year. As for the Tempest II my source said to me this week that it definitley won't be flying this year, maybe next year. One of the YAK 3s at Duxford is for sale, though I'm not sure which one (though I guess it's OFMC's) because they both need lots of work to rectify problems encountered when trying to get them both certified in this country. The YAK 1 isn't going to be up this year either this year I doubt, the wing is still being worked on at Hawker Restorations who sound busy what with TFC's Hurricane being finished off (ready for Legends?) and the fuselage needs lots of work to get the systems fitted. A certain Mr YAK 11 FAN might enlighten us more on this project, lets see ;-)
