Is this not one of the ex-Wallis ones repatriated?

thanks for posting. i always liked the looks of these. I always thought if the Granville bros made a warbird this is what it would look like. Are these a hard plane to fly?

Love the sound of the engine when FHC flies theirs! :supz:

That big single row sorta sounds like a wooden block in a rotating wooden barrel and the individual short stacks snapping and popping-pure music
