That's what puzzled me of an authentic replica! Is that a seat between the wheels? :rolleyes:

Is that a seat between the wheels?No, it's the fourth wing. :O

Incidentally, that replica has been flying since April 2008 - I don't know why it has taken the Telegraph so long to discover it:

I guess the Telegraph is a bit behind the Times !
Yup, the SHOULD have been called "Drei und ein Halfte Decker".

The New Zealanders are frenzy about the Dr1:

Additional they have started building replica Gnome-Rhones too (If it isn't Oberursel-replicas - Talking Dreideckers?)!

As this bloody site doesn't make it possible to upload pictures as well as longer links, You have to Google Yourself - It's worth the job as they got seven (7) Dreidecker replicas in air at same time :-o

I've never seen so many Venetian Blinds in formation!!

There used to be a black Dr1 replica in Lower Upham many moons ago when I had a Cub based there. It always impressed me how tall and narrow the thing was.
