I really enjoyed seeing that aircraft in the sky...Glad there is finally an aircraft in Belgian Livery in the collection...( Frankly it was long overdue ;) ) Greetings from Belgium
Thank you for building the Hanriot HD.1! I'm a big fan of this wonderful little fighter, little known fact this aircraft was in service of U.S. Navy after WW1
Beautiful plane! I have a question if you don't mind, I am building a model of an Albatros d.va and was wondering if it had to be painted with the pilots choice of insignia on it or if they kept them as they were when they came out of the factory with just camouflage and the black crosses. Thanks! - Mike
+Mike musto Generally pilots insignia would be added in the field once the aircraft had reached an aerodrome. Aircraft leaving the factory would all be finished in a standard factory finish.
The engine sounds like that because most World War I airplanes did not have throttle control. They would blip the engine like that to maintain speed. It's basically full throttle or nothing for the most part.
+General Ripper1964 Probably not your imagination, while it is an original rotary and will 'sound' rough by virtue of it's design, on the day this did sound a little rougher than one would normally expect. We haven't talked to the crew about whether its just this engine or if it does need some work.
What a good looking aircraft

Many thanks! We have lots like this (and even more coming soon) on our new streaming service: www.historicalmachines.tv
Now all I need, is a video like the three Albatros's amongst the clouds, between this and that D.III chasing!

This is actually an original aircraft, built in 1917!
Superb...it was the plane of the first belgian ace of ww1...bravo...
Amazing testimony of glorious times !
the only ORIGINAL WWI belgian air force plane still flying...
Is it hangared in New Zealand or in Belgium?
I always loved Hanriots.

+Historical Aviation Film Unit ok, thanks for the info
I love this plane! to me it's the perfect match for the Fokker Dr.1
Gorgeous plane. Ranks up there with the Sopwith F.1 except it was a more forgiving aircraft. It's only weak point is it only carried one gun.
Wonderful design for it's time.
I think so too!
What a great vid, that line up of WWI A/C the HD.1 roll past on landing was not too shabby. Any vids of the SE5A in flight?
It is a belgian one ?
Yes
Is it my imagination or is that engine sounding a little off? Great video. Keep them flying. :-)
