Stop wingeing about seeing little green blobs Chris. Just remember to keep taking your crushed frog pills and they will go away.

Right! That's it Allan you have set me off again. The Baron will be flying that plane tomorrow in combat.:fokker: I have mentioned elswhere on the Drome that I much prefer flying that model paint job to the all red version.
Thanks for yet another wonderful piece of footage.
Rob.:salute:
Awesome videos. Thanks for the vids
Here's some more video of the Sopwith Snipe, plus the Bristol Fighter F.2b....

Another nice film Allan.
I wonder how long it will be before Ares re issue the Snipes and get round to series 7 with the Bristol in it.
Will I be flying these two birds in my lifetime?
Rob.
Do you have any of the Snipes? They are still available here in NZ if you're prepared to pay the shipping......
As for the F.2B I did a version of this aircraft in paper (Fiddlers Green) a year or so ago. I'll have to dig them both out and do a WoG version of this video :-)
Allan
I'm curious, what do you guys fly as the camera plane?
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
When we're filming the WW1 aircraft we generally use a Cessna 180. We take the door off, Alex the photographer sits in the front seat, and I (the videographer) sit in the back with a cunning piece of video hardware that let's me get the footage we get, without interferng with what Alex is doing up front :-)
You'll find many of Alex's great photos in the WW1 Album on our Facebook page at:

Here's the first video footage of the brand new TVAL Sopwith Pup 'Betty', in the colours of Joe Fall from Naval 3.....

:thumbsup:Yet another cracking bit of film Allan.
This is yet anothe plane I will be now needing a kit for.
Rob.
Several Fokker Dr.1 replicas coming and going.....
It's been a few weeks since we uploaded some WW1 aircraft videos so I thought I'd dig this old footage out of the archives. It shows several of The Vintage Aviators Dr.1's doing touch and goes in their early 1918 colour schemes (before they were repainted into their current April 1918 Jasta 11 schemes).

Superb Allan.
Keep trotting them out please.
Rob.
Excellent stuff.....
Really cool, Alan!

Five Fokker Dr.1 triplanes practice their low level strafing.... sure, it would be nice if the engines in these replicas were Oberursel's, but hey, this is still a pretty cool video even with slightly more modern Warner Scarab radial engines...

Yet another superb piece of footage Allan.
Made me want to get my Fokkers out and fly them all at once.
Rob.
They are just great! How much does it cost to build one and get it airbourne?
Excellent footage. I am going to a show in three weeks and can't wait. Hope it is half as good as what you have in NZ.
This weeks video is Capt Gwilym H. Lewis' Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a.....

Yet another inspiring machine in flight Allan.
I particularly like the white accent on the wheel covers, the radiator, and around the identification letters.
Rob.
This week it's another look at a couple of Dr.1s on patrol....

:thumbsup:Thanks Allan.
Keep them coming.
Rob.
Those are great Allan. I was able to see 3 triplanes this past weekend. It was the first time I got to see WWI aircraft fly and it was great. Thanks for these outstanding videos you share with us.
I know that the de Havilland Mosquito is not a WW1 aircraft, and that's it's also not even part of WOGS yet, but I suspect there are a lot of you who will be keen to see this video of the Mossie that has just flown in New Zealand.... :-)

Allan
Thank you again!:clap: With patience i will see her flying over Virginia Beach!:) Thank you once again!:pint:
Rich
Absolutely gorgeous!
Love it! Thank you for sharing!:thumbsup:
All I can say is very impressive as usual Allan.
The whole fly by was very moving. Thank you.
Rob.
Thank you for posting this video. It is great to see a flying Mosquito. It is really good that there are so many enthusiasts in New Zealand restoring old aircraft.
Here's a short video of a Fokker D.VII taking on a Bristol Fighter F2.b. This video does start to show how maneuverable the F2.b is when it's flung around...
