And an immaculate SE5a. I am led to believe that this aircraft has 1 1/2 hours flying time, including the 45min flying time from the Nth Island airport it calls home!
This is what a new 'plane would have looked like in 1916 to to a spotty young "Knight of the Air" with a couple of weeks to live. No fancy avionics here!
A small clue to who we owe the pleasure of seeing these magnificent aircraft, proving that supporting the Flying Corps runs in the family (Runs? Damn! It gallops in this family!):
Despite nearly 20 WW1 aircraft in flying order for displays, the work never ends. This is the beginning of even MORE aircraft for the 2009 show:
