Yes, a jet-powered biplane !!
This is the second of Rich Goodwin's "Muscle Pitts", the first being a highly uprated Pitts Special, but this one is even more "special".
Apart from structural modifications and an up-rated Lycoming piston engine, this Pitts, with the very appropriate civil registration G- JPIT, also has two jet engines, one either side of the cockpit, each developing 500 Lbs thrust, with an overall power to weight ratio of 1:1.
This aircraft was so incredible, especially in a vertical climb, that I didn't take many photos of it, preferring instead to watch the stunning display, and a sound like no other biplane anywhere in the World.
More to come either later today, or some time tomorrow ........................
