I.D.
We used to have Airedale G-ARZP at our airfield.
I flew it quite a bit and was amazed that with 180 HP and a VP prop it couldn't manage 100 kt !
But yes it was aerobatic (LAROSA)( loops and rolls on a Sunday afternoon) in a lazy but pleasant sort of way. Loops, stall turns and barrel rolls no problem, but for a 4-seat people carrier, a sort of a British 172, it was a poor second, but had really good precise handling, typical Beagle, like the Pup (but not the Terrier !)
Not many left now, fly a real antique and have fun !
