Lovely photos Croweater.

That last survivor is the aircraft in which Australian Harry Butler AFC won the first Australian Aerial Derby on 8th September 1920.

Hi

Yes this is the last original one left I saw two last month in the UK – one at Hendon and one at Shuttleworth. I think there are a couple of more replicas elsewhere but these are the more prominant ones.

The SA original is fairly heavily modified

Regards

Shuttleworth Collection has a nice replica/new-build one…
