nice to see the videos on the net already! 😡
RIP to those involved
A few years ago I emailed AJD Engineering and I was quoted £200k for an Avro 504 – minus engine. I would imagine an SE5 would be around the same.
Check out: http://www.hawker-restorations-ltd.co.uk/Completed.html
I thought something like a SE5 would have been more, due to the fact its alot more complicated that a avro, or a sopwith..who was in it to make aircraft to sell?
Suppose you can add another 30K for a engine?
I dare say the engine, spats, prop hub and perhaps the fuel tank are the only bits worth anything there – the rest is nothing but firewood.
exactly, would make a good fire!
without paperwork useless 🙁
Sorry to disappoint but its not a Turbulent
look at the width of the fuselage, its a 2 seater
It doesn’t have a fin, its more than likely a jodel, and also the U/C legs are jodel shape (square)
Im pretty certain to say its a Jodel D18, which has been home built and probably unfinished (due to the ribs but no wing)

What a great thread! 🙂
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?
some better close ups for you


think a few more people should ask him some questions about the item
i didnt realise her was selling two
maybe ask how he knows its sopwith…. ask if theres any inspectors stamps like “B&Q” this is one of the comman stamps on this kinnda item.
i asked the seller a question
“Hi, Can you tell me if you have another 3 matching ones. Regards”
the reply was
“No”
to be honest with a reply like that i cant trust this seller :p
what ww1 stuff do they have? any pictures?
does look intresting to me!
thanks for the reply 1group,
Ive only ever been to EK when i was little (several times) although i dont remember it at all. (18 now)
I had a scan on EK’s webpage which is where i found that info i posted although it really didnt tell me much abotu what there is to see there as its a 2hr drive for me, so id like to know first.
With the recent post about haunted airfields with the EK tower being mentioned id love to go in there at night just to try and understand the feeling.
If the lancs running at 7:30 then would the tower still be open then or is there a closing time on that night? or will it be an exception.
Many thanks
So i dont know if im missing something, but what happened to the aircraft and the pilot?
Im guessing it was a mechanical problem rather than damage?
WOW!
Does anyone know what the current state of progress is or when we might be able to see more pics?
Im looking forward to this.
Shame my Norwegian is no existant or id be looking on news pages.
