Sopwith Dove Replica G-EAGA

I seem to recollect it broke a wheel and wound up on its nose. No doubt with various bits of damage to wings etc en-route.

The engine (looking beautiful) was in Andrew Wood’s workshop when I visited a couple of years ago.

Good to see it on the way back to flying condition, i guess the damage was more severe than the AAIB report would suggest.

The aircraft is being rebuilt. Here are some photos taken a couple of years ago when the fuselage was at the Vintage Fabrics workshop
