B3922 was delivered late in July 1917 under the Sopwith company's first RFC contract for Camels. Of the 250 Camels numbered B3751-B3950, 104 were delivered to the RNAS. B3922 was one such, and went to No 8 (Naval) Squadron in August 1917. By January 11, 1918 it was at the RNAS War School, Manston, where this photograph was taken; but it was also photographed, in the same markings seen here, at Dover.

This Sopwith F.1 Camel is probably C67 or C69, taken at Manston. Deliveries from the British Nieuport & General Aircraft Company Ltd (C1-C200) did not start until the week ending January 12, 1918, and C67 and C69 were probably delivered towards the end of March 1918. The photographs that include these aircraft were therefore taken after the formation of the RAF.

Sopwith-built F.1 Camel B3950, last of the second Sopwith-built batch, has an engine run-up prior to testing. Standard armament was a pair of fixed 0.303in Vickers machine guns synchronised to fire between the propeller blades. Because engine, fuel, pilot and armament were all closely grouped at the front, and because of the rotary engine's powerful torque reaction, coarse rudder was required to correct tendencies of the nose to rise in a left-hand turn and drop in a turn to the right. This made the Camel a tricky machine to master, but endowed it with extraordinary combat manoeuvrability.

"CAMEL-FLAGED": We are indebted to Mr. Grenville G.O. Manton for this photograph of a Sopwith "Camel," until recently his property, which he had modified somewhat. It was fitted with a 40-45 h.p. Anzani engine, and flew quite satisfactorily, though naturally, with a greatly reduced performance.

The one and only taper wing Camel, with single wide-chord interplane struts.

Aeroplane Monthly 1978-05 / Personal album

The sole example of the Sopwith F.1/1 taperwing Camel, tested at Martlesham Heath in May 1917. Powered by a 130 h.p. Clerget rotary, its wings tapered from 5ft chord at the centre section to 3ft 6in at the tips, and wide, plank-like interplane struts were fitted. Its performance proved no better than that of the standard Camel, and as the wing would have been more complicated to build it is no surprise that the type was abandoned. A B.E.2e is in the background.

Unarmed Sopwith Pup B2192, built by Whitehead Aircraft Co Ltd, Richmond, Surrey, was the personal aircraft of Major E. L. Foot, MC, of the Gosport School of Special Flying. It was in this aircraft that Maj Foot led a “circus” of Pups in formation aerobatics over the RFC Training Camp at Beaulieu, Hants, on September 7, 1917. Its engine is a 100 h.p. Gnome Monosoupape rotary, with extra cooling louvres in the top of the cowling. The tail of Camel B5157 can be seen behind.

The airfield scene looked a bit of a battlefield when Aeroplane visited Yeovilton - it will look even more so when the exhibition opens.
Sections of wartorn French airfields cover the exhibition’s central area, complete with sandbags, mud and shellholes (visitors will not need to bring Wellington boots, though). Here the museum’s Sopwith Camel, Triplane, Pup, Spad XIII and Albatros D Va replicas, together with Robin Bowes’ Fokker Dr I replica G-BEFR, are displayed against a vast, sombre backdrop mural of the Western Front. For more theatrical effect the Spad will be standing on its nose as if crashed and the Sopwith Triplane will be suspended from the ceiling - “but we believe it will still satisfy the purist”, says Mottram. Lighting will remain at normal levels, permitting fairly easy photography.

Улыбающийся канадский пилот майор Рэй Коллишоу (Раймонд Кэлшоу ) сидит в кабине своего истребителя Sopwith Camel (номер D3417) после 21-й воздушной победы, 10 июня 1918 года. К тому моменту 24-летнего командира 203-й эскадрильи уже два раза сбивали, но он уцелел и сам сбил 47 (???) вражеских аэропланов. Всего он сбил 60 немецких самолетов, летая во Франции в составе 203-й эскадрильи на самолете Camel с номером D3417. В августе 1918 года Кэлшоу был награжден орденом "За боевые заслуги". Во время Второй мировой войны он командовал 12-й истребительной группой.

Far more RFC aircraft were lost in accidents during the War than were shot down. In spite of the simple mechanical flying controls fitted to contemporary fighters, Sopwith F.1 Camel B5402 of 66 Sqn came to grief, in October 1917, when the controls jammed during take-off.
