I was shocked when I realised that I actually flew that same plane (G-BFRV) during my PPL training in Edinburgh in 1997! It would be interesting to know who owns it now

regarding the 'some mothers' episode, Michael Crawford has a PPL and did all his flying himself
A well-informed source tells me that the late R.D. Campbell (of 'Flight Instructors Manual' fame) did the stunt flying. If you watch closely, there were actually two different aircraft used. A 150 was used for the exterior shots and some close-up bits using cameras fixed on brackets (either in the back or on the strut). A 172 was used for some of the interior stuff so that the cameraman could get in the back.
