Hi Dr 1 Ace,

I can see them now!  ;D  I didn't know that they had Albatroses!  Does anyone know which model they are?  In one of the photos at least one of the fuselages looks like a D.V or a D.Va, but in the other photos I can't identify the model.

Regards,

David.

 :) thanks Jamo, it looks fantastic.

Hope they will put a clip on youtube as Kermit did with his Snipe.

Wonder what colour to paint that fuselage for the WNW model?

What a beautiful sight and sound to see the engine come to life, any idea when the aircraft will be moved to NZ?

Gene DeMarco was over there recently but the LVG wasn't quite ready for a test flight. It won't be too much longer . . .

Interesting how the cowlings look different colours depending on the light conditions

Thanks James, it looks like she is ready to rock and roll, won't be long now before she lands in her new home.

Now finished. Photographed by Frédérick Vandentorren at Aerodrome De Cerny very recently. Click to see full size image









Maybe it will be at Hood Aerodrome in time for the Remembrance Day airshow?
