The Sopwith 1½ Strutter took to the skies during the First World War in the early days of military aviation.

Now a group of men in East Lothian are painstakingly recreating a working replica of this trailblazing aircraft.

Members of the Aviation Preservation Society of Scotland have been working on the project for more than 20 years and hope to get the plane airborne in the next few months.
