RE: Keithmac- If you liked that you will like this
Reminds me of a story! Back in the 70’s the local pub near Church Fenton changed hands. The new owner re decorated and wanted a new name and pub sign. So a competition was held on the station to come up with idea’s. It landed up with a Bulldog (Scottish Aviation variety) and the name “The Fenton Flyer”. However this was not the winner with the rank and file airmen of 2 FTS. Their choice was one of the above leaning on a fence asleep, and the pub named “The Lazy Fokker”.

It’s a reproduction Fokker Eindekker (monoplane).I’m not sure which model of Eindekker it’s meant to be,so it could be anything from an E.I to an E.III.I think she’s owned by the same people as the Moraine.
Incidentally,they seem to have painted the serial number in the wrong place,it was usually painted on the lower half of the fuselage just behind the wing root.The 1915 serial number suggests that it is intended to represent an E.I.

It’s a Moraine Type N,otherwise known as the Moraine ‘Bullet’.I think the venue might well be Booker.If I remember rightly,this machine is part of the Blue Max Movie Museum.
