Sewing equipment used by volunteers working on a part of a Sopworth Strutter under construction by members of the Aviation Preservation Society of Scotland (APSS) at a workshop on the site of the Museum of Flight at East Fortune, Scotland. The project to build the World War I fighter began almost 15 years ago and has involved dozens of men constructing the biplane using original plans. Each part of the aircraft has been individually sourced or crafted to ensure authenticity and it is hoped that it will be completed and be airborne in 2016.
