I managed to find this video on-line; made by the Shell film unit, it's a fiften minute review of the 1951 Farnborough show, there's a bit about Zura's Cartwheel a couple of minutes in!

British Pathe - HIGHLIGHTS OF FARNBOROUGH 1951

Also, although not on-line, but well worth a look is DD Video's "Classic Farnborough the 50's", a seventy minute tape covering the entire decade. again the '51 coverage has Zurakowski's take off and cartwheel plus a steep recovery and dive out to a low, fast pass down the runway.

All in all, a very good nostalgic tape, well edited and with only a little irritation caused by "dubbed on" piston engine noises to some air to air shots of jets! Oh yes, and a high speed pass of Neville Duke's Hunter that looks a lot like a Swift to me!

You can still find a copy of this tape on amazon or eBay (and maybe it's companion issue covering the sixties as well)

SincoTC,

Thank you muchly, that's the one! When you saw you hardly believed it and that is only the third time I have seen it so it brings back some happy memories.

Some manouvre. Some pilot!

Interesting video!

Incidentally, the Bill Mason whose name appears as co director in the opening credits is father of Pink Floyd drummer and pilot Nick.
