Photo Comment

This BE2a replica was built by Andrew Willox and donated to the RAAF Museum in 2014 to join the Museum's replica Deperdussin and Boxkite. This completes the complement of three aircraft types the Central Flying School first used during 1914-15. This particular version dates from February 1911 and has a wider upper span with some unique modifications to the wings to strengthen them as a one-off.
