Airworthy ‘Full Noise’ is on part-time duty in the Dangerous Skies Exhibition of the Aviation Heritage Centre. The paint scheme is based on that of Yak-3s of the 4th Guard Fighter Division, Sovjet Air Force, as based in Germany at the end of WW II.
Graeme Frew’s Yak-3UA ‘Full Noise’ is one of 11 Yak-3s, made by Yakovlev at their Orenburg factory in the 1990s. These aircraft were designated Yak-3M, although the Allison V-1710 powered machines are also referred to as Yak-3UA (A for Allison).
