OT: F.E.2b replica!

Recommended Posts

Anyone else see the cover feature in this month's 'Aeroplane' magazine about Peter Jackson's F.E.2b replica?

Absolutely stunning, awesome... and then some!

 

Apart from all the background info. and history on this rebuild (not to mention the fantasitc photos!) there are some very interesting pilot's notes by Gene DeMarco.

Thanks for the heads up Spiny old boy......as you say, cracking photos! Really shows the precarious nature of being in that front seat!?!

I'll say! Gandi, me old seed-pod.

 

Apparently no seat for the gunner, just some eyebolts for a strap to hold him in place. I rather fancy myself one of those period leather jackets though...

I have to say I hadn't noticed on the first skim read, but they're 3/4 of the way through building a second one as well!!

 

As Spiny says, the pilot notes are well worth a look at too if you can.
