Aeroplane Monthly 1990-10 / O.Thetford, A.Lumsden - On silver wings (1)

Re-engined with the 320 h.p. ABC Dragonfly nine-cylinder radial engine, the Snipe was to have been developed into the Dragon. But the engine proved disastrous and, although a few Dragons were built, the type never entered RAF squadron service.

Aviation Historian 22 / P.Jarrett - Lost & Found

Probably unaware that they are seated in a rather unusual aeroplane, a happy couple play pilot and passenger in an anonymous Sopwith Dragon. Can any readers shed light on which Dragon it is, when the photograph was taken, where it was located or its ultimate fate?

Aviation Historian 36 / P.Jarrett - Lost & Found

ON THIS PAGE in TAH22 I featured a Sopwith Dragon serving as a photographer's seaside prop in the 1920s, in the hope that someone might be able to provide further information. Unfortunately it drew no responses, but a few months ago I acquired another shot of it which adds a mite to our knowledge. It is not the best of images, and has its blemishes, but it shows the other side of the fuselage, and an inscription is visible and partly legible. I believe it reads: "The Skegness Skylark", so now we know where it was, but further information is still sought.
