Firstly, thank you so much do Damian Cox (CEO Wildstone) for the opportunity to fly in his gorgeous red XA-42.

The XA-42 is a carbon fibre, unlimited aerobatic aircraft with a 6 pot 315HP Lycoming.

It accelerates quicker than my Octavia vRS and rolls quicker than a cheese down Cooper’s Hill.

I wasn’t concentrating on filming the flight, more on what was happening, so the video is far from great.

This is the closest most people will get to flying something like an F-16!
