The Bristol F2B is the replica, ZK-JNU. Of the above there will be three rotaries, something new for those who have never heard one.

Replicas

Pfalz D.III

And the below are TVAL-built reproductions
Bristol F.2B
R.E.8
Fokker D.VIII
S.E.5a

I was at the TVAL Flying Weekend yesterday (somewhat less crowded hangar than normal!).
The most-junior pilot was looking forward to re-rigging the R.E.8 the least.

I’ll be doing a post here about the pre-WW2 aircraft at the recent Wings Over Wairarapa show and the Flying Weekend soon-ish, probably this upcoming weekend.
