Hi Chris,
I don't think so. I'll take a look through my shots again and see what I have. The only Pitts I know for certain that I have is this one

Hate to break it to you but thats not a Pitts, it's a Steen Skybolt. I know that G-BIRD displayed at Portrush as he called in at Kirkbride Airfield, Cumbria on the way back and hes going to display at our open day next year, hence the ned for some piccies ;D ;D

Chris I've looked through all my photos and I have none of G-BIRD. To be honest I can't even recall it flying at Portrush this year. Sorry :(
