- The Stampe Formation Flying Team, performing a beautiful routine at Old Warden Aerodrome, during the Shuttleworth Vintage Airshow 2020. Following the 4 ship display one of the team then perform a solo aerobatic routine (shown separately here:- to be added).
Jean Stampe and Maurice Vertongen met in the Belgian Air Force during the First World War and in 1923, they formed the Stampe and Vertongen (SV) Company at Antwerp. In1933, Jean Stampe flew the first prototype of the SV-4, designed by George's Ivanoff. The Stampe was designed as a trainer and won a contract to supply the Belgian Air Force with 300 aircraft during 1939 followed by an order from the French Air Force for 600. At the outbreak of World War II, 40 aircraft had been produced in Antwerp and by Farman in France but the only aircraft to survive the war was OO-ATD which was flown by two Belgian pilots to England during 1941.
After the war, the French manufacturing company SNCAN produced 701 SV-4A Stampes powered by the Renault 4P engine at their factory Chatillon sous Bagneux on the river Seine. Jean Stampe with Alfred Renard produced 65 aircraft for the Belgian Air Force, powered by the De havilland Gipsy Major engine, the SV-4 B and C model and 150 aeroplanes were produced in Algeria by Atelier Industrial de L'air. Stampes produced with a Renault engine but later reengineered with a Gipsy Major were known as an SV-4C/G.
The Stampe became a stalwart of aerobatic competitions both in France and the rest of Europe and was much loved for the harmonised, light and effective controls. Although the Stampe differs significantly from the Tiger Moth in having a tail wheel, reasonably effective brakes and an extra set of ailerons to provide increased roll rate the aircraft are still confused by the casual observer but to fly, the aeroplanes are chalk and cheese. Possibly the most well known Stampe airshow act was that of the Rothmans Formation team that operated 4 Stampes during the early 1970s prior to changing to the Pitts Special and the legendary Neil Williams who came 2nd in the final Lockheed Trophy flying an SV-4C, G-ASHS.

A summers day at Old Warden (The Shuttleworth Collection) . if you've never been put it near the top of your to-do list for 2021 . Take a picnic and you best friend in all the world.
Beautiful video by High Flight, thank you.
Thank you Lee. It is indeed a place to enjoy. I'll be there in 2021! 🙃👍
Great to see G-AWEF again, my dad flew her many times with the Tiger Club when they were based at Redhill, sadly he was killed whilst flying her sister, Stampe G-ATKC, the wings folded whilst performing aerobatics in 1987. RIP Marcus Norman and Cathy O'Brian.
I work with Skysport Engineering, founded by Cathy shortly before her passing, parts she restored and built for her unfinished Stampe project fly today in G-FORD, which operates out of our strip. She and your father are remembered often and fondly by those that knew them. I just heard today of the sad loss of -AWEF and her experienced pilot a few weeks ago, it seems the joy of aviation is often punctuated by tragedy.
@@eddcla7766 Thanks for the reply, I was young at the time so didn't know Cathy although i do know she was highly thought of and respected throughout aviation. It's great that some of her work is still in use today.
I was unaware (not being in the flying world) of the WEF crash, devastating news of such a well known aircraft, condolences to the pilots family.
Ces comme ça j adore j aime les bris d avions surtout quand je marche et que sa passe dans le ciel ces beaux comme notre patrouille que dire respect à ces aviateurs😉🛩️❤️😊🌈😍😂😎👍👍👍💕💯🕶️😎
