From Airliners.net. I've taken an interest in WW1 aircraft and I thought these shots were interesting. The first one makes an excellent desktop background.

Sopwith Tripehound

Sopwith Pup Cockpit. Not much in instumentation back then.

Two Fokker DR1s in formation.

Vickers Vimy Replica. Not really a WW1 plane but an interesting example of early bombers.

Bristol F.2B, one of the world's first inline engine fighters.

I love the Tripe, and Shoreham is Hagars neck of the woods, so keep an eye on his threads ;) 8) ;D

Funny you should mention that. My Shoreham pix have probably been deleted by now so here's the Tripehound again.

It's a full sized replica. The owner told me he built it himself from the original plans.

Hagar. Another WWI aircraft fanatic. ;D

Durn it.   I HAVE to get the photos of the Sopwith Strutter - well, no fabric, no wings, but still a Strutter - developed.
