Description

We are proud to represent this beautiful SE5A Replica. ​The SE5a was considered by many pilots to be the best British single-seat fighter of World War One. Designed at the Royal Aircraft Factory at Farnborough, the first production aircraft had the 150hp Hispano-Suiza fitted & were designated SE5. The later SE5a had the 200 or 220hp Hispani-Suiza or 200hp Wolseley Viper engine.

It was used by twenty-four squadrons of the Royal Flying Corps & Royal Air Force in France, Palestine, Macedonia, Mesopotamia & the United Kingdom, & equipped one squadron of the Australian Flying Corps & two of the United States Air Service on the Western Front.

The SE5 & SE5a were flown by some of the leading British fighter pilots including Beauchamp-Proctor, Bishop, Mannock & McCudden. This aircraft represents Group Captain Geoffrey Hilton “Beery” Bowman, DSO, MC & Bar, DFC. He was a British First World War fighter ace credited with 32 victories. After attaining the rank of Major in the Royal Flying Corps, he later became a group captain in the Royal Air Force.
