Simon Paul prepares to fly Sopwith Pup "Peggy" at Omaka on Sunday. Some of you might remember seeing this at Classic Fighters 2011. It was not flying then but is happily flying now.



We also conducted a photo flight at the same time with the Sopwith Pup "Peggy". Was nice to get another WW1 aeroplane photographed for the 2013 calendar with the deadline looming.
The aeroplane will also appear in a future edition of Classic Wings. The Pup was imported into New Zealand by the Chariots Of Fire collection and is based at Omaka.
