Looks very exciting for folk in the UK
"Oliver Wulff’s BE2e will be flight tested this week at Hood Aerodrome Masterton in order to obtain it’s NZ CAA certification and airworthiness certificate. We are optimistic that it will be ready for shipping by mid-March and in Stow Maries 5-6 weeks later. A second BE2e is being prepared in the same timescale and will be coming to Stow Maries at the same time as the first presentation aircraft. This second aircraft will be a reproduction of A2767 which was based at Stow Maries in 1917. We are keen to find sponsors who will help WHAT acquire this and other aircraft on behalf of the nation to build up an enduring RFC flying presence in UK based at Stow Maries."
And a new commemorative book is to be released from none other than Ray Rimell, in association with the WW1 Aviation Heritage Trust.
"To be published in 2014, an illustrated history of the 1914 air war with rare archive material, newly-commissioned colour profiles, drawings and pilots’ anecdotes. Will also include expanded studies of all the aeroplanes coming to the UK for this year’s displays. Pagination, final content and availability to be announced in due course. An ideal show-guide for those attending the centenary events in the coming year."

Thanks for drawing this to our attention James. I can't wait for Ray's book to come out.
