Just got the videos on line  :sweatdrop: from our Afternoon Bimble

I apologise for picture and sound quality but only had my phone to shoot with

Wind noise @ 3.10 mins is the prop wash of 4 Merlins and Yes Avgas full fat smells good  :yes:

After shut down you could smell the hot oil and coolant of Just Jane's  life blood

All in all a very nice afternoon  :yes:

Lovely shots

I was given a ride in Just Jane for my 60th birthday pressie.  About 70mph in the mid-upper turret.  Fan-bloody-tastic

I'll sort out some pics and video.  My old man was ground crew in the last unpleasantness and I had a real lump in my throat when the throttles went to the gate and we really surged forward on the grass at the end of the runway
