The Vintage Aviator Ltd recently held the first of what is planned to be a regular series of afternoon air displays at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton, New Zealand.
For the first time in nearly 100 years a new Oberursel rotary engine has been manufactured to power a WW1 fighter.
The Vintage Aviator chose the Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a as the first major project out of the workshop.
The Vintage Aviator Ltd not only builds aircraft from scratch but is also equipped to complete almost any project.
It has been a long held dream of the 1914-18 Aviation Heritage Trust to build an exact airworthy reproduction of the FE.2b, the iconic RFC observation aircraft.
Our connections to the film industry allowed us access to real guns, and the molding techniques used to make movie props.
