The Grosvenor House DeHavilland Comet replica did a couple of fly-bys at Brodhead. Sorry for the shaky video, but he just popped up out of nowhere and I had to run to get an open view and still had to use extreme zoom. Very cool airplane!!
The original G-ACSS was named after the Grosvenor House Hotel, in London.
(It's pronounced "Grove-nur" [Winks]...) This lovely replica was built in the USA a few years ago. I keep looking for more footage of this on YT, but there is only this and one other short in-cockpit clip. Thanks for posting it...! The original was restored to fly in the UK, but the woos's never fly it...!!!
I believe the chaseplane is a Falco, one of which I buiit and owned. Could be wrong, hard to tell.

what an amazing and beautiful plane!
just imagine it, rebuilt with modern materials (karbon fiber e.g.) and motors. it would break the speedrekord for piston engined planes.
i wish i had the time to build one!
