Around 1960/61, Wing Commander Murray, who was sales demonstration pilot for then Piper agents Vigors Aviation at Kidlington, used to perform a similar take-off routine in a Super Cub, though perhaps with not quite such a short run as this one. I remember seeing a fly-off between the PA-18 and a Helio Courier during a show at Kidlington, doing 'jump' T-Os over bunting strung between two poles. Can't recall who won, though.
