Bidford Pitts

I was out on my motorbike today and went to my favourite cuppa stop - Bidford Gliding Club - it's only half an hour away and there's usually something going on. I briefly met the pilot and chatted about bikes but unfortunately I didn't realise he was the pilot 'til he got in!

I asked him if I could take some piccies from the non-active side of the fence and he obviously agreed. He had just topped up with fuel and shortly after the pics were taken he started up, taxied to the other side of the field and waited for a glider/tug launch and a light aircraft landing before taking off. Bit distant during this and he turned away from the field when airborne :(

The aircraft is 'G-BOZS'

Nice plane! Did he at least beat up the field on the way out?

Nope, he climbed rapidly and turned away, running parallel to the field about half a mile out before disappearing :(
