I think this aeroplane may be operated by a forum member- Best Wishes of course, regardless.

Personally I am a fan of the homebuild aircraft, especially warbird types, and this one looks brilliant; ( in the photo) best wishes to the pilot.

I’m not a great fan of these replicas, but I have to say that this one looks very good indeed and from a distance must be very convincing.
Hope the pilot recovers quickly from his injuries..

Dunno about the pilot, but the builder was a chap called Ross Ferguson. He spent years on the project, building virtually everything himself.
The engine on this one is, I think, a small block Chevy V8, but I’d have to have a look for the articles again.
I hope it’s not been badly damaged, as this is a stunning little aeroplane.
