Back.. More on that later..
Next on the grand tour (for real) of the USAF Museum Dayton, Ohio. Complete with new hanger.
This is of course the famous Fokker Dr.1, designed to be extremely maneuverable, but not the fastest. It was so impressive Sopwith made an almost carbon copy in the Sopwith Triplane (which much like the Dr.1, became the highest scoring British Aircraft for a period..
Taken with small camera nd this time NOT grainy, more a ballon later.
Painted to represent an aircraft flown by Lt Arthur Rahn in April 1918, with 6 confirmed victories, It is original.

P.S. Went to the biggest RAF100 show of the year on Saturday, rained all day. Queued an hour to get, and never even got a drink. Photos were shall we say, crap! But one or two interesting items, I'll slip them in. Watch this space.

I have a model kit of a Neiuport biplane here on my shelf with a sub kit to convert it to a triplane that turned out to be about 1/3 of the scale when it arrived. I trusted a Romanian supplier. It is sitting beneath a kit unopenned for a "Kingfisher" which my mother gave me one Christmas at least 20 years ago because she did not like I had built a stick model of a "Grasshopper" and left the covering off to exhibit the structure.
