You can fly with Dale at Norwich, too.

All the aeroplanes mentioned are S2A's but G-WREN has an open front hole.
I've flown G-WREN since the recover and have fly the Norwich based one several times a year. They both fly well and are on a par with Pitts' I have flown in the States. I've not flown Alan cassidy's aeroplane but it too has a closed canopy and looks quite smart at competitions where I regularly see it.
Dave Cook at Shoreham has just started dual trag on his S2B for £190 an hour which seems very reasonable in comaprison with the S2A's that go for £170-180/hr. The 2A has a 200hp IO360 Lyc and the 2B a 260hp IO540. I'd contact DC through the tower at Shoreham.
Very hard to fly to get to fly an S1 initially unless you either have a very special friend or buy a share/whole one or have jillions of hours on similar birds.
The socialist in me says that every family should have a Pitts! I'm sure that Flick Off and possibly even Ludwig will agree.
