New aircraft will be joining the World War 1 Aviation Heritage Trust’s collection this year: an Albatros D.Va and Sopwith Snipe from New-Zealand in late spring, and will be followed later by a RAF S.E.5a.

The WW1AHT intends “to provide an enduring flying collection of World War I Allied and German aircraft based in the UK flying from heritage sites like Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome“. The trust has launched a Kickstarter funding campaign to help finance this project.

The Sopwith Snipe flown by George Barker, VC.

The RAF Museum in Hendon recently received a Sopwith Snipe built by the New-Zealand-based company The Vintage Aviator Ltd. The aircraft, which is painted in a postwar silver finish, incorporates many original parts. It is only intended for static display as it is not airworthy.
