Not completely sure, but this could be Hayley Atwell who is in the country with Tom Cruise filming the upcoming Mission Impossible movie.

I didn't realize that today was going the be the day these beautiful warbirds would be heading out. I was in awe of them. The one nearest is in its USN livery and N2S-3 variant, known as "Yellow Peril."
Lloyd Stearman stichtte in 1927 zijn gelijknamige vliegtuigfabriek, en ontwierp de C3, een robuuste tweedekker voor luchtpostdiensten en lesvliegen. Twee jaar later verkocht hij zijn bedrijf aan Boeing, die de naam Stearman in 1934 officieel liet vallen, en de C3 doorontwikkelde tot de Model 75.
Dit toestel werd door de Amerikaanse strijdkrachten als lesvliegtuig in dienst genomen. Bij het leger als PT-17 en bij de US Navy als N2S. De motor van de Model 75 wordt gestart via een vliegwiel, dat eerst door een startmotor of handbediende slinger op toeren wordt gebracht.
De as waarop deze slinger past is zichtbaar aan de linkerkant van de motor, boven het nummer 586 op de neus.

[English] Lloyd Stearman founded the aircraft factory of the same name in 1927 and designed the C3, a robust biplane for airmail service and student flying. Two years later he sold his company to Boeing, who officially dropped the name Stearman in 1934, and developed the C3 into the Model 75. This aircraft was taken into service by the American armed forces as primary trainer, and was designated PT-17 by the army and N2S by the US Navy.
The engine of the Model 75 is started by use of a fly-wheel, that is first revved up by either a starter motor or a hand operated crank. The axle this crank is attached to is visible on the left side of the engine, just above the number 586 on the nose.

F-AZGR Boeing Stearman N2S-3 Kaydet [75-2650] (Amicale Jean Baptiste Salis) La Ferte Alais~F @ 16/06/1997. From a slide.
Me in the cockpit of a 1942 Boeing Stearman PT-17 Kaydet (A75N1) N56914. At the time owned by Tim Cox, El Cajon, CA. Currently owned by John S. Hodgson, Genoa, NV.
One of the most-produced biplanes in history, the N2S served as the nation's foremost primary trainer during World War II. Though nicknamed the Kaydet, the airplane was more commonly called the Stearman after its manufacturer, and was much beloved by military and, later, civilian aviators.
Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman, or Kaydet, it served as a primary trainer for the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy (as the NS and N2S), and with the Royal Canadian Air Force as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civilian market. In the immediate postwar years, they became popular as crop dusters and sports planes, and for aerobatic and wing walking use in air shows.
In late 1933, Stearman engineers Mac Short, Harold W. Zipp, and J. Jack Clark took a 1931 Lloyd Stearman design, and added cantilever landing gear and adjustable elevator trim tabs, to produce the Model 70. Able to withstand +12g and -9g, the aircraft was powered by a 210-hp Lycoming R-680, first flew on 1 January 1934, before flight tests were conducted at Wright Field, Naval Air Station Anacostia, and Pensacola. The Navy then requested a similar model built to Navy specifications, including a 200-hp Wright J-5 engine. The resultant Model 73, was designated NS-1 by the Navy, of which 41 were ordered, including enough spares to build another 20 aircraft.[3]
In the summer of 1934, Stearman engineers refined the Model 73 into the Model X75. The Army Air Corps evaluated the plane that autumn, powered by a 225-hp Wright R-760 or a 225-hp Lycoming R-680. In July 1935, the Army Air Corps ordered 26 with the Lycoming engine, designated the PT-13A, while the navy ordered an additional 20. In August 1936, the Army ordered an additional 50 PT-13As, followed by another 30 in October, and another 28 in December. Simultaneously, the company received orders for its primary trainer from the Argentinian navy, the Philippine Army Air Corps, and the Brazilian Air Force. In January 1937, the army ordered another 26 PT-13As.[3]
