Here are a set of screenshots presented in a series, taken from a couple of flights with the Flight Replicas restored Buchon "G-BWUE" from Duxford and around Cambridgeshire (all screenshots taken in FSX).

Warming up at 1000-RPM, just outside the Historic Flying hangar, about 85-gallons of gas for an hour's flight (with some high power acro involved).

Nice pics. Your take-off was a bit better than mine, I'm still practicing. I didn't crack up, but it wasn't the best ;)
 
Final pass, and pulling up into a right downwind, reducing power and radiator flaps already full open.

At least at Duxford, there is A LOT of grass to use. (Mind you, as real-world pilots will do as well, at Duxford I typically just use the large swath of grass between the "designated" grass runway and the paved runway for my warbird flying.) ; )
