A Kiwi Fee...

[Dimus]

This month's "Aeroplane" magazine carries an exclusive feature on Peter Jackson's Fee replica. The cover page and centerfold have air to air shots of the Fee dogfighting a Dr1 and the Blue Max Pfalz. The shot with the Pfalz will just take your breath away as the gunner is standing and maning the aft gun aiming at the Pfalz which in turn emmits fake smoke simulating a hit in the engine. Pilot and observer are wearing authentic clothing and their looks are just astonishing. Worth buying just for these photos.

 

Check the cover page on the magazine's site here:

I would love to post the shots for you but I guess it would be a copyright breach.

 

It seems the Fee is powered by an original Beardmore engine :yes: .

Yes, this months Windsock International came with a flyer advertising a book on the construction and details of this a/c. I'm thinking of getting it as I am a sucker for the old pusher a/c such as the "Fee, D.H.2's, etc.

Thanks to Red dog for providing the basic link of the vintage aviator site. There is a link there with a video of the flight although the magic moment with the Pfalz trailing smoke is not included. The video is just outstanding:
