Interesting varety of aircraft.

The footage of the Fokker D.VIII got me thinking of the Leisure Sport fleet of airworthy replicas that operated from White Waltham airfield in the early '80s. They were often to be seen flying to the west of the airfield practicing their dog fight routine.I found this list online.

Airco DH2 G-BFVH
Albatros D.Va G-BFXL
Fokker Dr.I G-BEFR
Fokker D.VII G-BFPL
Fokker D.VIII G-BHCA
Sopwith Camel G-AWWY
Sopwith Camel G-BFCZ
Sopwith Strutter G-BIDW
Spad XIII G-BFYO
Supermarine S.5 G-BDFF

Their Fokker D.VIII G-BHCA was in a very attractive bumble bee scheme but tragically crashed at White Waltham in 1981 killing the pilot.
