I remember a few Farnborough airshows ago they did have a ww1 section where a few biplanes mustered over the friends house I was at before doing a flypast. It's funny watching them as they don't fly in the same way as later planes - often they would just turn the rudder and the plane would point in a different direction to the one it was moving in then slowly it would start to move that direction 🤣🤣 they appeared to have way more lift than power - which I guess is true!

A wonderful sight. The sound of a Merlin engine always, always brings me out in goosebumps - I was born 18 years after the war ended, and yet, the sight and sound of these astonishing machines always brings a tear to my eye. I know what they signify - freedom. I recently watched, and enjoyed, for the nth time, the 1969 'Battle Of Britain' movie, and, yet again, got choked up at Dowding's line: "Our young men will have to shoot down their young men at a rate of four to one." Whether he said it, in reality, or not, doesn't matter to me, but it shows just how few the 'few' were.
