"Replica" Bristol Boxkite photographs

Both Centenary Flight and detailed construction photographs document this CFS replica aircraft Hpeterswald (talk) 08:32, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Imo one photo is enough, but the article could do with a section on the construction of this replica. Changing the subject, anybody know anything about the Deperdussin that this museum apparently owns?TheLongTone (talk) 11:33, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"..100 years ago we kicked off military aviation in Australia with three types of aircraft - the Deperdussin, the BE2a and the Boxkite. A century later all three aeroplanes grace the hallowed turf of Point Cook again at the RAAF Museum. A sight which you will not see anywhere else in the world..." per RAAF Hpeterswald (talk) 09:36, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The pic looks ok (is it "Public Domain"?), however the article should at least mention the existence of the Boxkite replica in its collection to justify inclusion of the pic. And whether it is on display or not. As for text related to the construction of the replica, it may fit better in the article about the Bristol Boxkite itself. Hope this helps.

For now I suggest add more text to the caption explain the Centenary Flight part. -Fnlayson (talk) 19:38, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
