Photo Comment

Seen during the heritage open day at the Shuttleworth Collection. G-BOCK / N6290 is a 1988 Sopwith Triplane replica c/n NAW-1 built by Northern Aeroplane Workshops. First registered on 26 Jan 1988. Built to the original plans Sir Thomas Sopwith declared it good enough to be a late production aircraft rather than the replica it is.
