A fitting and unusual memorial to an old boy

One of my neighbours passed away and at his post funeral party the son arranged for Richard Goodwin to do his best in a Pitts S2 modified - 8.5 litre engine

 

Some of the stunts on the day were stunning and he did things with an aircraft that I did not know were possible

 

Here is a youtube clip from Richard but it does not give anywhere near the skills of the stunts he pulled the other day. Also the engine roar is wonderful when you hear it for real.

 

Enjoy

Had the opportunity to flew a S2B for my initial 'Spin training' many many years ago at SFT in Bournmouth.

 

Went up with Don Henderson and did a few manoeuvres before the obligatory spinning- shame I spun of the top of my first loop-- still, proved my spin recovery was good.

On the way back to the field I was treated to some 'real' aeros--- blimey oh Riley
