From: The British Aerobatics Group
The Vintage Aerobatic World Championship event at Breighton was a splendid affair [September] in (mostly) sunny weather, much enjoyed by the somewhat motley participants - largely German, plus one Brit in a Chipmunk.
The final part was a sort of 4-minute freestyle fall-about (The Performance) ... John Tempest has made a rather nice video of it. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DHFFJgL01s
The green Bücker Jungmann was a newish replica with a rather tasty 6-cylinder engine, by comparison the rest fairly real. Ever seen a 3-turn spin by an 85 hp Clip-Wing Cub?
