Nice video - thanks for posting.

 

There was a Brisfit flying at Warbirds over Wanaka last week, along with a Sopwith Triplane, Airco DH5 and from the Germain side a Fokker Triplane, Fokker D7 and Pfalz D3. Great stuff! Good to see these brilliant old aircraft still flying.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Mauld, nice video. Great to watch the tail skid do it job on landing. Clearly works well.

New Zealand is certainly a centre of excellence for WW1 aircraft reconstruction. The UK saw a couple of them fly in 2012 R.E.8 and Albatross, but sadly they are now static in a museum would love to see more of them.

They punch above their weight in NZ in this area. It's great to see that old stuff flying. That Bristol is just a straight forward simple aeroplane, a little bit bigger and heavier than a lot of them. Some of ours are a lighter version with similar speeds and characteristics. Nev
