Ok.. i confess!!! The Pitts is what i truly want, i always have wanted one
Well if it's aeros you want then the Cosmic's yer baby. If it was good enough for Neil Williams in '64... Mind you, he did move on to a Zlin, and then... a Pitts. OK, have you considered importing a Pitts from the US?

Seriously though, Kynsey's Cosmic displays in recent years have been superb.

Mark 1, I think at least three Cosmics were built by Tony Le Vier in the US plus I think Robin Voice built his own in the UK. All three of the original US aircraft have been over here - Ballerina is still here, another was G-AYRJ in the 1970s and has returned to the US; the third I believe is the one on rebuild here somewhere with Paul Bannister. These last two were Little Toni and Minnow originally. But there may have been a fourth "Le Vier" in the equation... and surely some others? PS, re the Midget Mustang, are you thinking of Ken Sword's G-AWIR? Is that still in the hangar at Leicester? It was 20 years ago when I last was there...
