In the 3rd picture down - the one where Martin Withers is waving. Does anybody recognise the chap on his right. I had an interesting chat with him about his own plane but failed to make a note of his name and there is no contact details available on his plane support teams website. I simply wanted to touch base with him and point him to the photo I took of him and his plane.... He is teaching his 15 year old son how to fly in it ....

Good photos though and well done to post the Youtube vid of the take-off of XH558.

At the very start of Lee's 558 vid you can see the intake blank take off towards the crowd.
I only do it with a long lead.
