Actually not bad. ;-) The Spad was a toughie to keep it level with one hand
and the other working the camera. But once you got the hang of it, it wasn't
too bad.

Now the Gypsy Moth was a beauty, you could kick the rudder to the right and
she'd spin into the shot beautifully and hold it so you could use both
hands.  But you had to be quick otherwise you'd get into a complete tailspin
and buy the farm along with all the shot film. ;-) Damn shame and all that
sort of stuff you know! :-)
