The second Snipe prototype, fitted with a 230 h.p. Bentley B.R.2 engine. Like the first Snipe, it had a slab-sided fuselage and a fin and rudder very similar to those of the Sopwith Camel. Originally built as a private venture, it was eventually serialled B9963.

The third Snipe prototype, B9965, at Martlesham Heath. The aircraft retained single-bay wings, although the centre-section was widened (note the splayed cabane struts) and had a smaller cutout than that of the earlier prototypes. The fuselage sides of B9965 were fully faired instead of flat, and a redesigned but still undersized fin and rudder were fitted. The device attached to the port interplane struts, and also visible on pictures of other Snipes on these pages, is an additional pitot tube for testing purposes. An airspeed indicator, located in the bulge, could be read from the cockpit.

JUST AN ILLUSION. This is not a case demanding a Court of Inquiry but simply a between-the-wars trick of the R.A.F. in the Middle East to give some welcome shade to single-seaters by manoeuvring the smaller aircraft as close as possible to the bigger 'planes. This excellent example of the manoeuvre shows a first-contract (E8249), all-silver Sopwith Snipe 7F.1 (230-h.p. Bentley B.R.2 rotary radial) of No. I (Iraq) Fighter Squadron photographed at Hinaidi, Baghdad, in 1926, sheltering under the 87-ft. 4-in. span of the second production (J7922) Vickers Victoria Mk. I (two 570-h.p. Napier Lion " broad arrow" twelve-cylinder inlines) of No. 70 (Middle East) Transport Squadron, based at Hinaidi. Note the early type of Vee-fronted rudders. Victorias could carry twenty-two troops, plus two crew, and took part in many pioneer military air lifts and long-range "showing-the-Flag" exercises. The 121-m.p.h. Snipe of 1918 remained in service until the late 1920s, and was the last R.A.F. fighter to be powered by a rotary aero engine.

The Sopwith "Snipe" (B.R.2 Rotary) Of the types of aircraft in use at the end of the war, quite a number have been retained. In many cases this has necessitated "reconditioning" the machines which had been kept in stores for several years, and among the types that have been reconditioned, as well as built de novo, is the Sopwith "Snipe," a single-seater fighter with rotary engine. The introduction of more powerful radial air-cooled engines has rendered the rotary obsolete. Thus the "Snipe" is now about to disappear altogether. The only squadrons still equipped with it are: No. 1 (Fighter) Squadron, Kenley, and No. 43 (Fighter) Squadron, Henlow.

Победный полет Бейкера. 27 октября 1918г.: канадский майор У. Г. Бейкер, приписанный к 201-й эскадрилье RAF на Западном фронте, патрулируя на своем Sopwith Snipe над лесом Мормаль, заметил немецкий разведчик. Бейкер атаковал его сзади и сбил, но его самого атаковал снизу Fokker D.VII. Получив пупю в правое бедро, пилот ввел самолет в штопор, имитируя фатальное попадание. Выровняв машину, он обнаружил, что находится среди группы из 15 вражеских аэропланов. Он немедленно атаковал, сбив второй самолет. Затем зашел в хвост еще одного самолета и сбил его. Почти сразу вторая пуля попала в его левое бедро. От болевого шока Бейкер потерял сознание. Очнувшись, он обнаружил, что его Snipe окружен самолетами другого немецкого патруля. Отважный канадец сбил еще один немецкий истребитель, но третья пуля попала ему в левый локоть, Бейкер вновь лишился чувств и пришел в себя на высоте 3660 м, где его дымящий Snipe все еще был окружен самолетами противника. Бейкер попытался таранить ближайший Fokker, однако тот уклонился. Тогда летчик решил оторваться от врага в крутом пикировании и ему это удалось. Истекая кровью, Бейкер все же посадил свой изрешеченный истребитель. Он выжил и был награжден за этот бой Крестом Виктории.
