Fokker E III at Omaka

 As previously referenced the ex TAVAS Fokker E III reproduction painted as 345/16 is now at Omaka:

This is an airframe that was built by Achim Engels in Germany and then shipped to Australia where The Australian Vintage Aircraft Society (TAVAS) finished the aircraft and installed the first CAMS built Gnome rotary engine.  It flew for several years at Caboolture before TAVAS closed down.

TVAL also has two Fokker E IIIs that were built by Achim Engels, one of which ZK-EIN2 has flown at Masterton and the other one seems to be progressing well..
