4th August 1914

In remembrance of the start of WW1. 100 years ago today and in tribute to all those who took part from both sides, I flew my 1/4 scale radio controlled WW1 Sopwith Camel fighter aircraft, as my personal tribute,
" Lest We Forget"

Looks like the real deal peter. Nice shot and a nice tribute.

@simta Благодаря Татьяна, мы будем помнить и сказать нашим детям и внукам, мы обязаны им столько;)

[Peter]

@terryliv Thanks for the lovely comments Poppo, we owe them so much;)

[Peter Grave]

Great shot Peter.I thought it was the full size plane untill i looked a bit harder.Would like to fly model aircraft but after destroying 2 helicopters have decided to stick to photography & ham radio.

[Babs]

Great photo. Did you build it yourself?

[Peter]

@peterlgrave Thanks Peter, Helicopters are harder to fly than fixed wing, been flying models since a boy, was flying a helicopter yesterday as well as the Camel, after this response going fling this morning;)

[Peter]

@onewing Thanks Babs, yes built from a plan its wing span 80.5" or 2.05m, length 56.5" or 1.45m, it was built as a tribute to wife's grandad who built the real thing as an apprentice in the period 1917-1918. I built it 3 years ago:)

[Robyn]

An impressive shot and to think you built this yourself! I love it!

[Peter]

@tracelee Thanks Tracey for your generous comments, I've been building and flying radio controlled model aircraft since 1977 think I'm getting the hang of it now;)

[Peter]

@lilminimonka Thank you so much Brianna, yes built by my own fair hands, as I said to Tracey been doing it some time now,
