The late Jack Canary restored this beautiful Sopwith Snipe. It was originally built in August 1918 and is now part of the Rockcliffe Collection, Ontario.
Built by Ruston Procter & Co of Lincoln in 1918, Sopwith 7.F1 Snipe E6938 was exported to Hollywood for Reginald Denny, the film star, in 1926. After eight years painstaking restoration by the late Jack Canary it was sold to the Canadian War Museum in 1964, and is finished in the markings of No 208 Sqn, RAF. It still flies on special occasions.
