It's been a long time since TVAL added to their flying collection so it was interesting to spot this:
EIN Fokker E.III Replica 0207 212 Aeroplane Initial registration The Vintage Aviator Limited PO BOX 207 Masterton 5840 16-2-2023 16-2-2023
From what I think I know there were 2 E.III's built by Achim Engels for TVAL and they've been sitting in the hangar at Hood for several years. I'm open to corrections on this though.
It will be interesting to see photos of it.

Apologies for hijacking this thread, I am visiting from UK and staying with my wife's family at Pahiatua. I would love to see some TVAL machines airborne ,does anyone know if they will be flying this weekend? Thanks, HF It's been a long time since TVAL added to their flying collection so it was interesting to spot this Fokker E.III Replica 0207 212 Aeroplane Initial registration The Vintage Aviator Limited PO BOX 207 Masterton 5840 16-2-2023 16-2-2023 From what I think I know there were 2 E.III's built by Achim Engels for TVAL and they've been sitting in the hangar at Hood for several years.
