I am told the Dolphin will be unveiled at Hendon on Friday March 16th, although it may be a private event and subject to change.

A new book on the Dolphin, featuring the restoration of C3988 will shortly be available from Cross And Cockade at:

Nice! Now all we need is a Snipe to complete the Sopwith set.

The full story of this amazing project (which dates back to 1967) can be found at:
