No news on Elvington, haven't been there for a couple of years, but I have something from Hendon. A couple of days ago their Beardmore was taken away to be installed in the FE2 rebuild. Can't wait

I was not aware of any fatal triplane replica crashes. Last one that happened was in the early 1990's in upstate New York, USA.

Can you bring me up to speed on this? Hopefully, it was not the Shuttleworth's.

I'm not entirely sure of who it belonged too, I know it was sometime in the 90's it happened..All I can remember @ present is that it was an all black Fokker Triplane.I'll endevaour to fin out more for you.......
