These Fokkers are most definitely not Messerchmitts! They are Dr. I dreidecker (triplanes) immortalized in the annals of aerial combat by Manfred von Richthofen and his Flying Circus. These particular aircraft are replicas and members of the Great War Team: I snapped them patrolling the skies over Cambridgeshire last weekend. Oh, and there's a musical connection -one of the pilots is none other than Bruce Dickinson, the frontman of Iron Maiden.
Pretty sure I saw them over Brooklands a couple of months ago. Wondered who/what they were.
ReplyDeleteWondered what they were when I saw them over Brooklands a couple of months ago. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the team's website, they were flying at Brooklands at the beginning of August. Well spotted!
