What a great thread! ๐
Without wanting to hi-jack it too much can anyone tell me what the best replica/repro SE5a there is about, there seems pleanty of stamps/ 7/8ths about!
Out of intrest who owns the ex-Patrick Lyndsey airframe now?
The 7/8th were originaly based on Curry Wot’s, there are a number of Stampe based examples with the Salis Collection. There are a number of full size replica’s about built from original drawings that are still available and the Replicraft drawings.
There are also several full size examples about in the USA that employ a steel tube fuselage to simplify contruction, a power plant is always the problem but at least one in the USA uses a converted car engine.
[QUOTE=Sea Hawk;1066084]I have spent some time tidying up yesterday’s composite list, making it more consistent and going through everyones comments to pick up everything that I could. I have also now added “starter for ten lists” for the Brisfit and for my favourite the Sopwith Snipe (the Bentley BR2 engine is such a work of beauty), what a pity we dont have one over here, especially as when I visited the Smithsonian nearly seven years ago thiers seems so under-appreciated, the “display” having the appearnce of being stuck up on a shelf over a door.

BE2b RAFM Hendon
I think that you will find that 2e G-BVGR is now in NZ with Peter Jackson.
And what about 2b at Hendon, although i know it is a composite so may be regarded as a replica.
Thanks very much Jeepman and Baldeagle. You have sorted the confusion in my mind. Sounds like I need to buy some more books (not that the wife will like it as I already have well over a thousand, albeit more on Southern Railway subjects than anything else โ the only saving grace is that she has a similar number โ only the loos in our house donโt have bookcases or bookshelves in them and there are still other books in piles scattered around!).
From the above we now have the following composite list of survivors for teh SE5A and the Camel:

Im sure there will be:) How about BE2 variants for a start;)
Right that’s it! Book me in for the slot immediately after Blue Max. I’m going to nibble his tail all the way to the ground.
