Russ was the pilot for the Air-to-Air photography of the Lightning done for Farnborough ('70 ?) from an RAE Hastings. ( He and Oscar Wilde were presenting the aircraft on behalf of the RAF)
Tom Hamill of " Flight" got some lovely shots of him barrel rolling the beast around the HP's wingtip -one of which made the front cover of "Flight" IIRC. They may have more in their archives..
Some years he later told me he that was subsequently sent a shot from Bee Beaumont - of him doing exactly the same with a P1 in the '50's.
