Piston heaven

[PPRuNeUser0139]

If big piston engines do it for you, watch this tribute to Stephen Grey - best in full screen (and for once, no commentary or background music)

Beautiful

Beautiful sights and sound.
Real music to my ears!
Thank You for posting this.
I guess its off to France next year.

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

Wow, that is something else. I'd love to go there.

sidevalve,

A wonderful video, thanks for posting it.

I was watching it again and I noticed a couple of interesting things at 12:36. Here's a screen grab:



1. The "mini" Mosquito doesn't have the nav's seat staggered like in the real thing. The builders missed a wonderful opportunity to make the fuselage narrower and more "to scale".

2. What on earth is that Cri Cri doing? Is it mounted on the wing of that garish Broussard?

OK, that's a rhetorical question. After some research, I discovered it's an electric Cri Cri and it is on the Broussard - a sort-of 21st century "Short Mayo Composite":
