Might even be a few PPRuNers that have mixed it with the little Fokker
A few years ago, I was flying south somewhere near Wellingborough with a student doing his PPL Skill Test navigation diversion. Glancing out of the window, I was somewhat surprised to see a DR 1 flying north.

Checking first that we weren't trapped in some sort of Final Countdown flashback, we both enjoyed the sight of the little red triplane blatting merrily along - it looked superb!

It was probably one of the handful of Fokker DR 1 replicas still flying in the UK.
