It's that time of year; the Easter bunny is hopping up again, lambs are frolicking in the fields, and the Yaks' nine-cylinder radial engines are roaring to life again to prepare for yet another display season. And it's going to be a big one.

Already the calendar is looking packed, full of great events. The team is also preparing to be the first team to offset all their carbon emissions - a tall order! Together with our new partner, insurance broker Emery Little, the Yakovlevs will be the first display act on the circuit to be completely carbon neutral. After the launch of the new Ondina EL smoke oil, which is food safe and better for the environment to boot, this new scheme will continue the tradition the team has established to be as green and environmentally friendly as possible.

This season is set to be a big one in more ways than one, with new schemes, competitions and much much more. Watch this space!
