    Skysport did have some DH 10 bits at one time. Though some of the wood was used in the DH2 thats for sale.

    Could build a Airco DH10. I have a Wing rib and piece of fabric. Better than another Spitfire!

    Yes that was the one. We stored all Mike Russells Dragon parts for a few years. I picked some parts from Southend Museum after it closed and the other parts from EMK at Watton on Stone. The propellor’s came from a auction at Duxford in the early 1980s

    The late Mike Russell did a talk on Fresson in London years ago. I took a DH84 Dragon wing down for the talk. He had a photo of G-ACET flying. But I cannot remember what markings it had.

    Think glider at Flixton is the second Colditz replica/ can someone confirm?

    I think this has been sorted in the past, but I cannot find it!

    The first one built at Colditz. Beleived it was burnt after the war.
    After the war Bill Goldfinch reworked the plans.
    The Imperial War Museum has one built for the BBC, May not be full size?
    The John Lee replica which was flown. Built as a single seat glider. This used some Hutter 17 metal fittings. This was the ITV documentary.
    Another one is or was being built to airworthy. Work may have stopped?
    The Scale radio control glider which was but by Fournier Boy. This one was launched from Colditz Castle for a TV documentary.
    I think another one may be at Colditz Castle in the last year?

    There was something at a DH Moth rally at Woburn many years ago about building a DH2. I think they had some bits, A prop I remember. As normal they where after funding. How far they got with it I dont know.
