I took this photograph at the Royal Air Forces Association's Woodford Air Show in June 1995, but the only mention of it in the brochure of the event is that a 'Steerman' would be part of the static display.
It's a Boeing Stearman Kaydet
PT-17 N2S-3, an aircraft that was used as a military trainer, and this
particular one was part of the US Army Air Force in the later stages of the
Second World War. The Stearman Kaydet was powered by various different engines,
and the PT-17 N2S-3 used the Continental R-670-4 engine.
