    Are they socially distancing or just in isolation?

    A responsive aircraft whose operational missions were flown solo.

    WestFront,

    The non-standardization of aircraft types and shapes during WWI is fascinating to me. Great job modeling this aircraft!

    It should, but will probably need a bit of work on the aircraft.cfg and air files. The gauges will have to be substituted with the Vickers Vimy ones.

    Have fun!

    Definitely an example of how A/C designers were stretching the limits of conventional technology and materials during WWI. Thanks guys.
    Cheers,
