Chris Rollings, who owns four Stampe aircraft, told the Daily Mirror: 'It's not that unusual for these things to start racing around with their pilots galloping after them.' Shocked

I must be getting old! I'd've sworn that plane was a Tiger Moth.

Hi
Very similar but:
Check the shape of the tail fin,

The blue plane is a Stampe the red one a Tiger Moth.

They used the Gipsy Major type engine as did the TM, the early ones only had the top wings swept, later ones had both swept and also had ailerons on both top and bottom wings.
