Formula One Racer

Originally designed by an airline captain called Tom Cassutt, this home built machine is capable of 248mph and, theoretically, capable of flying over 450 miles. You'd have to be mad to want to do so as, like all racing machines it's not exactly comfortable, but who cares - it's absurdly quick and that's what really counts, even if it was made in some bloke's garage.

This is a very welcome return of a Formula One Air Racer. There are a number of differences between this and the motor racing machines of a similar name. For a start this tiny Cassutt Racer has 100hp which doesn't sound like a lot, but when that's propelling a mere 400kgs it's more than enough. Made from a tubular steel frame, unlike the four wheeled Formula One the material otherwise used is wood. This machine dispenses with the need for a couple of hundred people and millions of pounds just to make it run for a few hours; some bloke's garage really hasn't got the space for an aircraft and a load of people.

Our friend Lee Kingman will be flying her again, and he's a rising star of the Airshow world with Duxford, Sywell and many other illustrious venues having witnessed his extremely high speed airmanship.

The Golden Era Gulfstream

Here's a few things you should know. It's very powerful (500hp), very loud, has six fuel tanks, can take off and land in very short distances and has one other party trick. It's seriously quick. Speed usually isn't something you can have with an aircraft which can land on a postage stamp, but one of the reasons why this was the Gulfstream of the Golden Era is that the Staggerwing can be all things to all movie stars.

So the likes of Jimmy Stewart and Walter Matthau (both served here in WWII) could take off from just about any small grass runway and be whisked to the Riviera at high speed whilst reclining on a big leather sofa in the back, with a minibar close to hand. It was very good at moving military VIP's too - that's why you'll see two at the Airshow - one in military colours and this bright yellow one. She's called High Maintenance - one thing the Staggerwing doesn't do is cheap; and keeping one running is anything but.

Once again this year Nigel Willson will take Geoffrey Lynch's High Maintenance up, accompanied by Peter Kuypers in his example, sporting genuine military colours. Often declared (in the US, anyway) to be the most beautiful aircraft of all time, it gets its name from the distinctive way the upper wing is aft of the lower wing.
