The echo of the engine sounds as it flys over head makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Ive been listerning to the sound of the 1940's Tiger Moth for the last 8 months as it flys down the costline .it just gets better ever time it flys over.i will try and get some photos at the weekend

I went up for trip in a 1925 curtis wright bi plane with a 9 cylinder radial engine last year whilst at the fantasy of flight in florida.

it was absolutely brill.

the air speed indicator was a piece of wood with a pivot off one of the wing struts with a quatrant scale such that the faster it flew the more the wood got blown back.

you had to get kitted up with flying helmets and silk scarfs too fly and the smell of the caster oil blowing back from the engine was rather an experiance to remember.

I had a flight in a Boeing Stearman whilst in the CCF. We helped organise the car parks during the day at a private airshow and then got flights as reward in the evening! That was an awesome experience, flying out of a little grass strip on a summer's evening, did some aero's too!
