The Vintage Aviator Limited owns and operates three SE.5a fighters. The aircraft are based in Masterton and fly with original Hispano Suiza engines. Although these are replicas they are as close to the original as possible so they are more like a continuation of the production line. Jerry Chisum flies this aircraft on Armistice Day 2008.
