He loves Star Wars, Hunting and airshows. Lucky for me....... not girls yet, but it won't be too far away.

The Roulette shot was just dumb luck, they were moving pretty quick. I probably have 100 times the amount of pics from the last 6 years, I'll just post up the more interesting ones from here on, none of the aircraft I've already taken.

The Chippy brings back many memories of being sick! There was a bastard of a pilot called Flt Lt Sadler and if you didn't do Aero he would go nuts. And when you did Aero if you didn't do it properly he would go nuts again! I didn't get a barrel roll right so another 4 time in a row and I was as sick as a dog!

The Yak has an Alison in it, Schnelfuer. The original Russian engines are rarer than hens teeth. The owners of that aircraft also have a Nanchang trainer IIRC.

Did he provide bags or did you have to let go into your mask, Paul?
