Came across mention of the "Zurakowski Cartwheel" while reading and found it here http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=78557 . 15 minutes worth of interesting stuff.

Nice stuff mate

My father worked with Zura at Glosters and then again at Avro Canada . Zura claimed the best way to cartwheel the Meteor was with a full load of HVARs on the wings, My mother remembers him as a little Pole who brought his kids to our house in an ancient Austin 7.

Thanks for the memories

Been trying to watch it since you posted it but it just sits there "loading" all the time and not doing anything.

'51 looks like it was a good year at Farnborough. A lot of classic aircraft attended. :lol:
