Hopefully of interest to some - it was certainly a great sound to hear.

It certainly is of interest, what a beaut and I can't wait to see it flying.

Hopefully there'll be plenty of chances to see it flying in the months and years ahead - already announced for Duxford VE Day, Sywell & Shuttleworth Festival of Flight.
