Just thought Id spread the word about a brand new replica Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter that we built at the Great War Flying Museum in Ontario, Canada. Here are some photos of it at our Fly-in on Sept. 12th, 2004. It will also being attending several airshows in the U.S. next year, including Geneseo.

We also have a Fokker D.VII, S.E.5a, two Fokker Triplanes, Nieuport 28, and a 7/8 scale S.E.5a. Also under construction is a sopwith Camel which should be flying by next year with any luck.

Do the dive brakes tilt UP or Down?

Very nice she looks too. Thanks. Wink

Shame it's not likely I'll get to see this fine machine.

Hi StrutterGunner...very nice...very nice

Are they out of Ottawa?

Hope there is an appearance at the Canadian Armed Forces Base Trenton this year for the Airshow. I do believe there were several here a couple of years ago.

I do remember seeing a Bristol F2B but not sure where it was from.

Those are Real Aircraft Grin

LOL

Thanks for posting them and any shots of cockpits would be most welcome Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Yes, I was lucky enough to see that Strutter in person at Fantasy of Flight several weeks ago. I had to crawl under four or five fuselages to get to it though Roll Eyes

It is in pretty rough shape and will be a lengthy restoration. Basicly just the fuselage and engine. I didnt see any wings or the tail feathers, although they could have been hidden somewhere else.
