Does anyone the ID of this BD-5 that was in the restoration hangar  And of this SE5a replica alongside it?  Rebuilder of Harvard NZ1068 should be along shortly as he had the BD5 on display. |

The Bede BD-5 is Peter Sheehan's project. He and his son Nick have been working on it recently.
The SE5a replica is the AJD Engineering example built in the early 1990s for the New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum. It was at Wanaka though the museum changes and disposed of last year after the most recent variation of the museum shut down. This SE5a was I believe the project that united Sir Tim Wallis and Tony Ditheridge, and they went on to form Hawker Restorations together.

Thank you for sharing your photos folks, I'm so glad the weather played ball and that the crowds were so big. Fantastic!
