Yenn Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Good video. Is it a Corby Starlet, certainly looks like one and sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Longden Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Its a Bushby Mustang 2, made as a kit by Mustang Aeronautics in the US. It has the same wing shape and empennage as the Originals, but it has a two seat, side by side cockpit. Up front there is an O320, 150 Hp Lycoming. This one is VH registered and is night VFR capable.... Ben Info; http://www.mustangaero.com/Mustang%20II/MustangII.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Forgot to tell you Ben. I enjoyed that. A beautiful tribute to a fallen hero. Grandfather I presume? Cheers, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Decca Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Ben showed me the video while staying with him for the duration of the fly-in Ross. It lasts 30secs (the tribute is to his father actually, but I'll leave that for Ben) - I could not have emotionally lasted another 30secs. Ben also has a remarkable glass enclosed memorial to his father - model of the Wellington he flew in, war medals, service pay book etc. I took a photo of it but can't find the camera now. Regards, Decca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
