I recently found this photo of a newly completed Fokker Dr 1 Triplane in Germany:
There is a New Zealand connection to this aircraft as the rotary engine is a CAMS Gnome that is manufactured at Omaka. It is fortunate that the photo is with the cowling off so you can see the rotary in all of its glory.I reckon this might be the sixth modern Fokker Triplane build with a rotary engine - after Mikael Carlson's one in Sweden, three in America and one in Australia which also had a CAMS Gnome rotary but unfortunately crashed (but the engine is being re-used in another build).
Fantastic! Who built this one? Where's it based?
