Just a few more!

As you do, he had a couple of 3,500hp Bristol Centaurus' in the shed. Sadly not compatible with the Sea Fury's unit.

Homemade for use in the Officers' Mess, dating from 1945/46 IIRC

Taxying...

Hand's and feet free. Can't do this in a helicopter sans autopilot...

He took his feet of the pedals pretty much as soon as he took off...

Gaining revenge on the snappers! It was his own camera, we wanted photo's of him flying, he took them of us watching!

And again!

Excellent... I've heard of Wallis but haven't thought about him in a long time. Glad to see he's still living (as opposed to merely being alive).
