Once upon a time the BBC broadcast a series on PBS called "Flambards". the story of a young orphan girl sent to the country to live with dissipated noble relatives in the days before WW1. My mother adored it, and I watched on occasion for it's haunting theme song, and all the ancient Aircraft. A lot of people swoon over the romance of the series but I thought it was the typical Competant, air minded BBC drama of the 70's. Theonly TYoutube I can find is the cheesey song from when Michael and Christiana took a flight in Michael's Bleriot IX. Your clip reminded me of the series, so.. here's the clip and the Amazon isting of the series in DVD.

the fact that you can find actual planes built and working based on a design more than a century old is quite amazing.
i've appreciated the blog post about the Apollo missions some time back very much.
i wonder if you might be interested in looking at advanced fighter planes.
