Old morey pope m comany 7 6 sopwith camel

[moreypope76]

I've got a sopwith camel from 1969 and I'm wondering a few things:

How do I find out if Dennis Ryder shaped it? Is he still alive?

And
Who would be the best person to hire to fix it? It's damaged with a cracked tail and more dings and cracks.

Basically it would need a complete overhaul.

Can anyone point me to someone on the east coast that can do this?
