The Royal Air Force Museum in Colindale is to unveil three new aircraft on August 29.

The Grahame Park Way museum will unveil the Snipe, Albatros and R.E.8 planes in their Shuttleworth Aerodrome.

The Albatros and R.E.8 will fly in air shows this year after which all three aircraft will be on public display at the museum.

The R.E.8 was critical to the RAF’s operations on the Western Front during the First World War.

The Sopwith Snipe was the RAF’s standard fighter of the early inter-war years and the Albatros DV was the most important German single-seat fighter during the First World War.

The planes are all either reproductions or reconstructions of the originals.
