Well done to the team at the Aircraft Preservation Society of Scotland on the first flight of their excellent replica Sopwith 1 and 1/2 Strutter! I gather the first flight happened a couple of months ago. Look forward hopefully to seeing it in the skies next year!

Haha, they certainly wouldn’t be dressed like that this past week, trumper. T-shirt weather seems a long time ago now!

That is beautiful , i thought they were a hardy bunch in T shirts then realised it is a couple of months ago 🙂

Fantastic news. I remember seeing the project back in 2016, when they were just starting to put on the covering!

It’s a pleasure. Just watched yesterday’s The One Show on BBC iPlayer which covers the first flight and has some great earlier footage of the project too.
