He’s not the only one to have done it. This was (I think) Eddie Kidd and Vic Norman at Rendcomb in the early 1990s.

(PS: The one with the two-stroke engines is the Cri-Cri)

At least I recognised it correctly as a Jungmann 😉

Is that the Shuttleworth Jungmann? Must be such a fun aircraft to fly…

No, It’s OO-OLE during its delivery flight to a new owner in Ireland. It’s now registered as G-CDJU.

I believe the picture was taken by Bert Kuyper.

The Sally B photo just looks upside-down to me, not the plane. Is that really the right way up?

The negative IS the right way up! I scanned it directly off the strip, I think it was actually in a very tight turn at the time … and re-reading my notes it definitely was NOT taken in 1985 – although it WAS as the Coventry Air Show at Baginton in the early 1980s. I have some more on the same film.

Hey TJ – you may be right, it was early to mid 80’s – where did the past 20 years go???

It is also taken before 1982 as the aircraft is lacking the turrets fitted for the “We’ll Meet Again” series.

I’m not sure the CAA would be too pleased nowadays!

I don’t wanna nit-pick here but the photo must be shot before 1985. Sally ‘B was repainted olive drab in 1984. Great photo by the way!

Allright. Fooled by the title of the movie on the website and the vokes-filter. I should have taken a closer look before posting 😮 . Thanks.

Tillerman.

However, the bloke is most certainly not in a Hurricane cockpit!! It has a Mk1 or 2 MB ejection seat for a start! The windscreen is all wrong too. I think its a Meteor

Oh my god. Don’t know if you have seen this one.

Bet he traded margin for speed at the end to do a good show pull out……….The dam looked pretty close to me.

I recall seeing a piccy in one of the historic aviation mags – I think it was in The Other One. IIRC the pilot is Lithuanian, and it’s a bridge in Vilnius he is flying under. No doubt someone else recalls the article?
