The Yakovlevs revisited one of their old favourites yesterday – the Shuttleworth Collection summer evening Airshow. Jim and Jez opened the show and presented their two-ship display in the evening, after first delivering a display for a wedding near their home base, Compton Abbas Airfield.

Other highlights of the Shuttleworth Airshow included the de Havilland Chipmunk, the Edwardian Flying Machines, the Hawker Hind, Hawker Sea Hurricane and Westland Lysander just to name a few.

The Yakovlevs visit the Shuttleworth Collection every year, and this year's event was another highlight in the team's display season. Despite suffering from sore "Yak bums" thanks to the long transit trips, Jez and Jim say they had a fabulous time, and would like to thank the event organisers and the audience for the experience.
