The pilot is John Walton, son of Walmart founder Sam Walton this was before Walmart became huge.

Around 6.00 hand swings a stearman, pauses and looks at the engine as if to say don't you dare stop

John Walton unfortunately died in 2005 a billionaire in a plane crash .

Had an instructor once in the US for a BFR who had been a crop duster. We all reckoned the chemicals hadn't really done him much good...

So who of the Walton clan has some input in to the GB-1 Gamebird? Grandson?

Steuart Walton funds and runs Game Composites, for which I worked for two years before he took it to the USA. He is a pilot as is his Dad who at the time I knew them was running Walmart. Best guess without checking is that this chap was Steuart's uncle but I don't remember hearing from him about anyone killed flying. If I recall correctly, Steuart's grandfather was the founder, Sam. There are many websites about the family for those interested.
