Hi all,
someone can give me an identification for this biplane? Spotted in a hangar at Duxford in 2005.
Thx!

Always wanted a Cuckoo Clock where it comes out and launches a torpedo on the hour… 😀
I want one for a Vulcan…it comes out once a day, the rest of the time a tiny man comes out and begs for money.:D

And yes, would be great to have a replica built – although I can’t see it happening in the UK, the only chance of seeing an artificial Cuckoo flying here is if there’s an explosion at a novelty clock factory

As a Biff afficianado, i’m quite offended you’re implying someone could mistake one for that :rolleyes:
Be quite nice to have on ‘in the nest’ though. After all, quite an important type in history, even if it missed the dust-up.
Got more struts than a Brisfit ( :p ) however.

Couldn’t be a WW1 Sopwith – no rotary engine and it isn’t anywhere near as ugly as a Dolphin!
Could almost be a:

The fuselage sitting midway between the upper and lower wings were the giveaway for me, my immediate thought was something Sopwith until I notice that.

Thanks for your fast answer! 😀

Yep, that’s the Biff now with Peter Jackson in NZ
