Dave Hadfield is a Canadian pilot who flies interesting old aircraft.
He has an easy style, great to watch over a Sunday morning cuppa

Watch on youtube.com

Fabulous vid Charl, what an incredible back-story there, that P-of-Wales handover footage was crazy too. Fascinating that air-driven generator !!! so many wee innovations on that Fox.

Man, that whole thing of not being able to see over the bonnet in a tail-dragger while taxiing would freeeeek me out.

So cool that she's still being cared for after all this time and a blessing to have a narrator who know's what they're talking about :rockon:

Oh, and was it just me or does that Canadian scenery look a LOT like rural NZ stuff

Not just you.
I often get to strange lands and think: we live on One Planet.

As to the Moth, what an era, and Dave has such a meticulous but relaxed approach to the whole thing, a real pro.
Taxiing? No problem, just open the little window you use to communicate with the pax down below, and peer through! :D
