Test flying 1915 style with Neil Williamson. White Waltham airfield sliped back 60 years
Test flying 1915 style with Neil Williamson. White Waltham airfield sliped back 60 years this morning when a replica of a Vickers gun BVS 1915 taxied to the edge of the field and then took off. Piloted by one of the top men in the flying business, Neil Williamson, the Gun Bus was put through its paces and on the 1st of March leaves by ship for South Africa. The plane is to feature in the Michael Klinger film now being shot starring Lee Marvin and Roger Moore called " Shout at the devil". The Vickers Gun Bus was built by I.E.S. projects and it took 20 men, 10 weeks at a cost of around £ 18, 000 to complete. March 1975

EDITORS COMMENTS
Test flying 1915 style with Neil Williamson at White Waltham airfield took us on a nostalgic journey back in time. This morning, the atmosphere slipped back 60 years as a remarkable replica of the Vickers gun BVS 1915 taxied to the edge of the field and gracefully soared into the sky. Guided by one of aviation's finest, Neil Williamson, this Gun Bus showcased its capabilities before embarking on an epic voyage to South Africa aboard a ship on March 1st. The significance of this aircraft goes beyond its impressive performance; it is set to star in the upcoming Michael Klinger film titled "Shout at the Devil" featuring renowned actors Lee Marvin and Roger Moore. Crafted meticulously by I. E. S. projects, constructing this marvel required twenty skilled individuals working tirelessly for ten weeks, amounting to an investment of approximately £18,000. Capturing the essence of early 20th-century aviation and military history, this biplane fighter pays homage to World War I's iconic Vickers Gun Bus. Its presence evokes memories of bravery and sacrifice while reminding us of how far we have come in aerial technology. This photograph from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to March 1975 when aviation enthusiasts witnessed a piece of living history take flight once again. Let it serve as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding fascination with conquering new heights.
