TVAL’s 1917 French Hanriot HD.1 aircraft in Belgian colours

The Vintage Aviator’s original (1917) Hanriot HD.1 is shown here during it’s first public display in New Zealand at Hood Aerodrome, Masterton. A French designed aircraft, the Hanriot DH.1 was flown extensively by the Belgians and Italians during 1917-1918. This video shows the first public display of this original aircraft since its restoration to airworthy condition. And for those of you who are wondering, yes, this is the same aircraft that was previously on display at the Royal Air Force Museum in the UK. -- Copyright © 2016 Historical Aviation Film Unit This video material may not be reproduced in any form (except as an embedded video on any other website), without the written permission of the Historical Aviation Film Unit.
