The aircraft at the Shuttleworth Collection in the UK still has the original 3-cylinder, 72-degree fan-style engine it left the factory with. The one at Old Rhinebeck has a later 120-degree cylinder angle "Y-type" radial engine.

Do they ever still fly the older one in the UK? Just curious. I mean obviously they've both flown before. Must take some balls to even take one of those 'kites' even just 60 foot in the air which they said the US example maxed out at generally.

Yes indeed, it flies regularly. The winds must be light, and the sky must be clear.
