Hello,
After seeing some of the Blue Max replicas earlier this year at the Blenheim
Airshow in NZ I was wondering what the state of the rest of the ex-Blue
Max Collection currently was?
So far I have got: Pfalz ZK-FLZ and ZK-JPI; Fokker D.VII ZK-FOD; the
two Miles S.E.5 were destroyed in 1970.
Whatever happened to:
Fokker D.VII: N903AC, N904AC
Fokker Dr.I: G-ATIY, G-ATJM
Stampe SV.4: F-BBIT, N901AC
the five Currie Wot S.E.5’s
Caudron C.277: N907AC
Morane-Saulnier: N230MS
Thank you

Thanks for the leads on some of these biplanes, it was very useful.

Hi Simon
The Other two DVII’s are with the Stampe Museum in Antwerp and the South Museum of Flight in Alabama repectively. Of the two DR1’s TJM is now at Le Ferte, TIY is with Patrick Garrison (www.bluemaxtriplane.org) in the USA. Patrick also has two of the Slingsby Built SE5’s, ( and third is known to exist as well but I dont want to say too much about that one, as for the other three????? The Luciole is with Ken Kellet in Florida and being rebuilt to fly. The two Stampe,s have not been heard of since geing with the FAC in Texas, would love to know where they are.

Is this the same MS.230 at Peter Vachre’s farm strip?
