Iban, go to  http://www.shuttleworth.org/shuttleworth/index.htm
Most of the aircraft are original, a few are replicas, and at least one is
'late production' - the Sopwith triplane.
The SE5a and Bristol F2B are originals.

Last Saturday I visited Compton Abbas airfield, where they have a replica
Fokker EIII, MoS N, Sopwith Camel and a Bleriot XI.  None have rotary
engines but they looked pretty good. They are all airworthy and are used for
displays and filming.
