I believe the model was built by someone down in the West country and had flown quit a few times at events in that area.
Mike Donnlly senior of MWM Warbirds bought it to add to his fleet and repainted it.
The Wimpy sat at the back of the shop for a couple of years waiting to be re radioed and checked out, but at the time his pilot, Mike junior was putting most of his time into large Jets so it got put on the back burner.

I bought the aircraft in the spring of 2020 changed the radio from Spectrum to Jeti, sorted out some niggles with the way the wings and elevators were secured and test flew it late July just after lock down part 1.
The Wimpy flies really well but to make it look good it takes up a lot of sky as its not a bank and yank type of warbird.

Because of the large wingspan and relatively light loading it looks best on calm days and gets kicked about in a cross wind, that's probably why it looks like it was flying sideways at Stows
GPS reported that the take off speed was 30mph and it tops out at 70mph.
Now its done and test flown Mike junior wants to buy it back :-)
