New Zealand is home to one of the best collections of reproduction [not merely replica] World War I aircraft that I know of. Many of these aircraft reside at Masterton and Wings Over Wairarapa always has a number of early aircraft on display and in the air.
In this post I cover off many of these aircraft. I don't have the aircraft registrations and more detailed information is available at The Vintage Aviator or on Wikipedia, but these are the photos I got.
Top to bottom are:
Fokker D.III
Nieuport XI
Sopwith F.1 Camel Scout
Pfalz DIII
Fokker Dr. 1 Dreidecker
RAF BE. 2F
Avro 504K
RAF BE. 2C
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
— Helen Keller, at age 74, on flight around the world, news reports of 5 February 1955
