So that's the new breed of Parasite fighters for the RCAF! 

To explain this - Vimy Flight is a group of volunteers who plan to fly replica WW1 biplanes over the Canadian War Memorial at Vimy Ridge on 9 April 2017. This marks the 100th anniversary of the battle that is a major part of Canada's national identity. The planes are four Nieuport 11, two Sopwith Pup and a SE5. I'd love to be there, went to Vimy Ridge 3 years ago and it was very moving.

That is so cool. Good on all involved ! Would love to be there. My father-in-law wants to visit the battlefields in France, we're planning on next year.

Makes you appreciate how small those aircraft are.

Make sure you get to Newfoundland Memorial Park http://www.ww1battlefields.co.uk/somme/newfoundland.html Capt. Definitely the most moving of the memorials in my view and made even better in that all the guides are young Newfoundlander's.
