If you are reading this sir Peter, could you spare a few bucks?

I always wondered whether any of the "we're building an O/400 replica!" groups progressed very far - this is impressive!

I remember an article in National Geographic in the mid 1990s were they sent a photographer on an endurance cruise of a replica world war 1 bomber over, i believe India.

Looking more closely at the photographs of the HP O/400, it seems some "adjustments" have been made...

Hey, I recognise that video!  This documentary is why I want a 1/48 Vimy. I'm glad the tape was in decent-enough condition to digitise, given how often I watched it as a kid!
