All
In the 1990’s a replica 1917 Hansa-Brandenburg W 29 seaplane was built for Thorpe Park at Chertsey/Surrey England. Does anyone have a photo, or know what became of it?
TIA

Hi Dave,
I seem to remember quite a few of the Thorp Park aircraft ended up at Brooklands, not sure if that was one of them though.

Your second seaplane is the replica Supermarine S.4, which was airworthy for a number of years before being destroyed in a fatal accident (if memory serves me correctly).

Here is a still from an old seaplane at Thorpe Park in the early 80ties – but no Hansa Brandenburg W.29
But the clip shows many aircraft and replica!
