Shuttleworth SE5a weight/stall speed

Does anyone know how much lighter the SW SE is compared to the ones that flew in WWI? I believe it has the same fuel tanks and guns and all that (but no ammo of course).

I'd like to know how accurate that stall speed of around 45 mph is, I mean whether one can conclude that it was the same in WWI.

Thanks!
Greg

The article in Today's Pilot, December 2009 issue, is written by Andy Sephton, who was formerly the Collection's chief pilot.

However, the article does not state what the aeroplane's weight/stall speed is, other than the info in the table (which is generic to the SE5a).
