Hello!

I`m new on this forum and I tried to find post about Yuri Gagarin`s (first cosmonaut) Matra Djet5 but without results. So, I hope it`ll interesting here for somebody.

In 1965, during his visit of Mécanique Aviation TRAction, he`s eyes seted on Djet and that was noticed by director who presented same car to him later. After Yuri Gagarin`s death in 1968 car was displayed in Star City (space training center) till to the end of USSR. In 90`s car was sold to litvanian private collector, perhaps it`s located in Kaunas city.



















P.S.: Excuse me for my english!

Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing this very interesting story, Lev, and for the great photos. It would be interesting if the car could be found somewhere.

Best,
Anders
