It just shows how good Flyboys might have been if they’d stuck with the wealth of material their aerial unit shot and hadn’t gone into cgi overload when they got back to the USA!
I know just what you mean about flying into the airshow. When I first did that in my Luton Minor at Old Warden in 2005, it was the realisation of a personal dream. THe only trouble is that it stays (expensively) addictive!!! 😎
Seriously though, if you live in a rural area, go and try your local saddler or horsey shop. They have all sorts of leather conditioning products a lot cheaper than classic car stuff!

Nice one DC, very close! It is in fact the importer Brian Allen, at Heathrow in 1937. I promise not to try a similar stunt with G-AISA on the 70th Anniversary!
Blue Max is probably right (he usually is) in saying a Canadian Tiger, but it also looks rather similar to that in a “cabin” Moth like a DH85 Leopard Moth.
It least this might give you an idea of the types of instruments that woud be fitted.
