A decades-long dream to build a World War One biplane has taken shape in East Lothian. There are only two airworthy Sopwith 1½ Strutters in the world. But a team of retired men have spent more than 20 years building the third and their hope is that is will soon take to the air for the first time. The BBC's Scotland Correspondent, Lorna Gordon, has been finding it all about it - in this episode of 5 Minutes On. Credit Image: BBC News
