Just a few pics from the recent Wings over Wairarapa: (that's in New Zealand by the way)

The show featured a large number of WW1 aircraft:
F2B Bristol fighter (original, 1 of only 2 in the world)
Sopwith Camel (replica with original engine)
Sopwith Triplane in colours of Raymond Collishaw's "Black Maria"
3 x SE5A replicas (exact replicas built locally by The Vintage Aviator Co.)
3 x Fokker DR1 replicas (don't know anything about these)
Fokker D7 replica
Pfalz D3 replica
Nieuport (baby I think?)
Unfortunately, because of strong winds a planned flying display by all these aircraft didn't take place, only saw the D7, Pfalz and Neiuport in action.

also spotted this RE8 in the corner of a hanger


The last remaining RNZAF Corsair (in US colours) out of around 500 in service in WW2

Numerous WW2 vets were present, including a kiwi test pilot who flew the Corsair and recommended (among other things)the bubble canopy.

Hope this works, have not posted images before.
Sorry about photo quality, only have a very old digital camera.
