Vintnge WW1 rotation engine

The son of my grandfather's brother, (great uncle of mine, or what do you call that relation), is a technical high school teacher..And a WW1 historic buff.

They were in posession of an original Rhone 9c Rotation engine..


So he and his pupils made up a 1:1 replica of the plane the engine came out of, a
Morane Saulnier Parasol Type L, the plane used by Guynemer to score his first victory, the first of many. And they got the engine running again..
