Apologies if this isn't acceptable in this section, mods feel free to delete/move if appropriate. I just thought you might be interested in seeing a video taken by my father of XH558s excellent display at RIAT 2009 on Sunday. The takeoff was something else!

Magnificent footage! The old girl still loves being thrown about after all these years.

Thanks for sharing.

I watched her takeoff on the Sunday. Pretty astounding. Was it a wingover at the top? Looked almost inverted.
Not as loud as I remember from North Weald days but I guess they are trying to preserve her.
