It must have been the summer of 1952 that I saw Prince Cantucuzene in his Jungmeister displaying at Baginton Airport.
At the conclusion of a stunning display he landed and then immediately performed a flick roll and re-landed and taxied off.
I have never seen the likes since.
Incidentally at the same Air Display John Cunningham displayed an early model DH Comet Jetliner and during a sweep over Coventry the main engine cover panel from one under wing departed the aircraft.
He continued his display apparently unaware of the lost panel which must have been approximately 8feet square.
One wonders what the maintenance crew thought when he returned the aircraft to Hatfield.
