Royal Aircraft Factory SE5a (Wolseley Viper engine) Serial No: C1149 as flown by Capt. Duncan Grinnell-Milne with No.56 Squadron (RAF) during late 1918.
Dual comparison build with the 'Kotare' Supermarine 'Spitfire Mk.1a

The fully detailed build log will be available to download, once I've uploaded the Fokker D.VII Seven Swabians model, from the Build Logs page at:

What a marvellous display idea.
Beautiful models both, but the setting together is inspired.

Do you think DGM is asking BL if he might borrow the Spit for his next sortie over the lines?
Lovely

Brilliant Mike and I too think it is a good idea for a display ( I will have to steal it but it won't be a cochade ).

I heard that it all started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry!
