DVD Airco DH2 - Flight of remembrance - Wickenby to the Somme

The Airco DH2 based at Wickenby Airfield, is an authentic replica of the WW1 fighter biplane that rose to fame during the Battle of the Somme, between July and November 1916. Led by Major Lanoe Hawker of 24 RFC Squadron, the DH2 reclaimed the skies of the Western Front, and ended the reign of Germany’s Fokker Eindecker. Wickenby’s Replica is painted in the military colours of Hawker’s aircraft, which inspired 24 RAF Squadron to invite the DH2 team to fly over the unveiling of a new memorial to Hawker in Fra
