Nice!

TVAL in New Zealand have built a number of these aircraft, including complete reproduction engines. The one in this vid is, I believe, a 1960s replica built in the UK.

That song at the start is just appalling...the words... :doh:

That's right J D it's the Biggles replica. Lovely looking crate but a death trap.

Try reading "Sagittarius Rising" by Cecil Lewis. He had many hours in one.

One of the best books I've ever read.

I'm halfway through it at the moment. Found it in a nice binding in a second-hand bookshop in Perth last week! Open Cockpit is another good one.
