Yes David many happy memories of flying displays full of aerobatics from the likes of the late Neil Williams, Barry Tempest whom my father taught to fly at Little Snoring. Neil turned up one day in a Zlin and no one could believe their eyes the stunts he pulled he was a complete master of his art. Father was CFI at Little Snoring, Seething and Felthorpe at the time.
Father, Mac McCaully and Barry would perform aerobatics at various airshows in East Anglia back in the day and occasionally at RAF Coltishall on their open flying days, heady old days they tied the Tiger Moths together with canvas tape and did the routines that way. Father was demobbed from that airfield in 1946 so it was poignant for him to be invited back to display.
Growing up among these giants is a great experience and makes you fear nothing and nobody.
If I concentrate really hard my mind adds another 4 pots to my Plus 8 on my journeys
Hearing an aero v12 certainly sends a shiver right through me, a wonderful sound and quite often they will overfly our house in Devon enroute to a display on the South coast. We always have a marvelous 2 day Airshow at Paignton including a lot of the BBMF exhibiting.
