I reckon somehow the start of this video should be used to show him promoting aviation. I think the start of this video is as good as you get.
Great video with the feel of those magnificent men in their flying machines.
There is something very raw of a long lost era of aviation in his flying which is appealing in our modern age of all singing and dancing aircraft
The true experience of man and his machine and freedom so lacking in our era

Reminds me too of two world war pilots landing in a field to sit out a thunderstorm
Both who would fight each other in the air one German one English who shared a cigarette together, parted company and both flew off on their merry way

Maybe its the spirit of adventure, two fingers at authority attitude which touches us about him But I wish him well too
