Great gun camera footage!

Is it real? The paintwork looks just a little too perfect.

Newly restored by Avspecs and first flight just a month ago - John Lamont giving her a wring out... This one was on the gate at Leuchars for many years, then Bentley Priory before being acquired by Historic Flying in 1988. Moved around several owners as a project since then, now owned by Tony Banta who tasked Avspecs with completion - I imagine she'll be on her way to California soon.

I believe John Gillespie Magee, Jr. was along for that beautiful flight. Thank you for posting, treadigraph!

Great video. If the pilot’s name is John Lamont, the aircraft lettering couldn’t be more appropriate.

You weren't kidding when you said gun camera.

John used to be one of the guest display pilots at Flying Legends 20+ years ago, probably under the auspices of Ray and Mark Hanna who would go home to New Zealand for the Wanaka displays. Great days...

Is this the one owned by the American who has it painted underneath his Gulfstream ?
