The Vintage Aviator’s collection of World War One aircraft continues to grow, and periodically these amazing aircraft are put on display for the public to see, hear and smell.The Historical Aviation Film Unit can’t provide you with the smell (of castor oil), but have produced a DVD which provides the chance to see and hear some of the great airshow displays that TVAL has put on for its fans over the past few years.
From the sedate early war Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2’s and Nieuport 11, to the mid-war R.A.F. F.E.2b’s and Albatros D.II, through to the late-war Sopwith Snipes and Fokker D.VIII’s, the displays that TVAL puts on at its base at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton (New Zealand) are always entertaining, and often surprising — especially for those who are not accustomed to seeing aircraft from such an early part of aviation history.

Fokker Dr.1 Triplane
