A pilot from Oxford who flies an aeroplane which he built himself has been named UK aerobatic champion.
Neil Parkinson, 40, built his Pitts Special biplane at Gloucestershire airport where he also keeps the aircraft.
He was crowned British Aerobatic Association champion after winning the standard level national championship at Conington airfield near Peterborough.
Mr Parkinson said he was "over the moon" to have won.
