Back to the Great War
Here are some aircraft from the Great War. Never mind that they are replicas of the originals, as the look, perform, sound just like the originals [engines included]. Given that the originals of these aircraft were designed and flying within 15 or so years of the first powered flight [Wright brothers or Richard Pearce is not an argument I want to get in to!] makes these machine even more incredible!

If that Camel is the same as the one at Wanaka it's from Peter Jackson's collection and has a rebuilt original (!) rotary engine. VERY nice sound to it :-)
