Pitts Extra: Well you made my day yesterday when your apparition of 'The Dancer' suddenly appeared. Fantastico!

She is such a special craft to me .. being the one in which I performed my first solo (under the watchful eye of the late great Tony 'Antonio' 'Nobby' Clarke) and also being the first bliterblat in which I experienced an engine failure. I have many memories of flying her between 1981 and 1983 while she was under Colin Chapman's patronage and then in 1984 when she joined Dennis Kenyon's stable at Booker.

Your photo must have been 82-83 (as she wore the Essex Motorsport colours in 81) .. do you have any further details on the specific date and location?

Again my thanks, what a super shot of the little girl!
