Some fabulous photography - loved the shots into the sun at the end and the show and the formation shots - always imagined how impressive it would be to be so close to such a large aircraft when flying. Fabulous editing and shots of the section where Guy did the fast taxi - wow! :thumbsup:

Brilliant TV :thumbsup:

Loved that. Always been my favourite Airfix model! Can't believe the shots of it looping and rolling.

I thought him not being able to fly in it might be a bit lame, but the fast taxi was pretty exhilarating.

Was worth a watch. Some good footage from the final tour flight and the bit where he got to accelerate to near takeoff speed must have been a rush.
