Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 Walkaround

The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 (Scout Experimental 5) was a British biplane fighter aircraft of the First World War. Although a few S.E.5s reached the Western Front before the Sopwith Camel, engine manufacturing problems prevented widespread use until well into 1918.
Though it uses many original parts, experts consider this aircraft a replica. It was built in England, approximately 14 years ago (1994), and includes an original propellor and instruments.
You can find more information about this aircraft in the Wikipedia.
