Be2

Actually it is being built by one man; Andrew Willox; a member of the Friends of the RAAF Museum. Certain parts such as the engine, exhaust and wheels were manufactured by sub contractors but the airframe is all Andrews work.At presesent it’s being rigged and then it will be fabriced. It will be ready for the 100 anniversary of the formation of the Australian Flying Corp in 2014 and it is destined for the RAAF Museum collection.

Maybe not “one man,” but I was under the impression that it was a small-scale volunteer project. Am I wrong all the way around? (Won’t be the first time…)
