Boeing Stearman A75N1 G-BAVO

The Boeing Stearman Model 75 is an American biplane formerly used as Boeing’s primary World War 11 military training aircraft. G-BAVO is based at Breighton Airfield and is affectionately known as the ‘Yorkshire Yankee’. Built in 1945, its original identity is largely unknown, however it saw active military service before passing into private hands after the war. It came into the UK in 1973 and has since flown with several owners under the UK registration G-BAVO.
