This is a view of Rich Goodwin's Pitts S-2S aerobatic biplane, G-EWIZ, during a performance at the Shuttleworth Collection's Wings and Wheels show in 2015.
Rich Goodwin is a former RAF GR.1 pilot who now makes his money flying commercial passenger jets. Flying aerobatic displays is what he does in his off-time.
The Pitts Special (company designations S-1 and S-2) is a series of light aerobatic biplanes designed by Curtis Pitts, which has accumulated many competition wins since the make's first flight in 1944. Pitts biplanes dominated world aerobatic competition in the 1960s and 1970s and, even today, remain a potent competition aircraft in the lower categories.
The Pitts S-2S is a two-seat variant with a 260-hp Lycoming AEIO-540 engine and twin fuel tanks. Its wingspan is exactly 20 feet. Just 17 of this variant were built.
