The passion to build replica 'Black Flight' Sopwith Triplanes of WW1
We are doing it. We're building Sopwith Triplane replicas from 1917. So there is a lot do and we thank Jim Kiger of Replicraft for the plans and for all of the help so far from everyone that has got involved in the spirit of this project. Right now we are building the workshops and it is going well. For fans of the Royal Naval Air Service we are creating a supporter club for this project which will involve hand on experiences during the build including the chance to visit and get close up to the aircraft - please let us know via the contact form if you are interested in this?.
Many will appreciates the historical significance of the recreation of a flying 'Flight' of Naval Squadron No:10. It is by no means a small task and the process will take many years. Finding the right wood, steel, engines, instruments and many more items takes time and a lot of detective work. Visit this site on a regular basis to see how things are moving on. More detailed information will be posted here over the build.
