- Roger has been flying this 1949 ex-Belgian Air Force Stampe from his farm strip since 1976. He was Intermediate Canadian Aerobatic Champion in the aircraft back then. In this video he is testing his new Sony AS50 helmet cam. He is 86.
The song is "Waltz with a Tiger", (c)2018 by Dave Hadfield, from his aviation album "Climbin' Away".

Nice to see an SV4B flown as it was intended to.
Awesome! Very inspirational.
One of my hangar mates has just turned 80 and I'm in awe. I hope I'm still flying the Luscombe at your Dad's age !!
Very impressive to be flying aerobatics, heck, flying at all at 86.
That is just awesome guys!
Wonder what he thinks of a camera on his helmet!! God bless the man.
Love this!
Very nice
Increible!
Just Fabulous :)
Another good one Dave. Have you got the Renault PO3 or 5 fitted..or have you got the Gipsy? I liked the air start on the Renault.
Gipsy 10. It's a Belgian Stampe.
Thanks Dave. I look after 4, a snecma/french with PO3, Moroccan built with Gipsy 10-2, & a Belgian one with a Lycoming 0-360... Bit like a box of chocolates, but, like the chocks...sweet things👍
@@gilbertdavies Four! Good on you!
Ours had a recent IRAN and fabric recover from Grand Valley Aircraft Restorations in Ontario. Super job.
@@davehadfield5906 Your people look to have made a nice job with the restoration. If you get this side of the pond, look me up. You may have flown a CAP 10b? If not, try mine. You'll like it, I'm sure👍
@@gilbertdavies Nice of you to offer. I'd love to do that - thanks!
You should see my Ground Loop
Was this a Stampe used by RCAF stationed in Germany, just after it came out of Belgian AF service?
That's where it came from, yes. It was transported back to Canada in the belly of a Herc in the early '70s.
Fantastic! Is it still the original Renault engine?
It's a Gipsy Major. This Stampe is a Belgian SV4B. The French-built ones have the Renault, and are SV4Cs.
bäääääh...this colors...bääähhh
Tail comes up fast...
Yep. He has a strong left foot, and likes to see forward early.
