I am currently carrying out a project for the WO Bentley Memorial Foundation to trace all survivors worldwide of the BR1 and BR2. The list so far includes:-

BR1 – 150hp, 17.2lt, 9Cl, 405lb
• Coventry City Museum: Humber-built prototype, sectioned
• Hendon – Sopwith Camel 1 F6314
• Imperial War Museum – Sopwith Camel N6812
• Midland Air Museum
• Science Museum: no.433/WD36903
• Bentley Motors Crewe
• Canadian Air Museum
• The National Air and Space Museum (AR 1)
• Power House Museum (Aus)
• Polish Aviation Museum – Sopwith Camel F.1 B 7280

BR2 – 235hp, 25lt, 9Cl, 500lb
• Hendon: two engines
• Fantasy of Flight: no.50491 built by Gwynnes Ltd
• Science Museum: two engines
• Shuttleworth: (RAFM)
• Royal Air Force Museum Cosford
• The National Air and Space Museum
• Canadian Aviation Museum, Rockcliffe – Sopwith Snipe E6938
• NASM Smithsonian, Washington – Sopwith Snipe E8105

BR 1 or BR2?
• National Museum of the US Air Force (formerly United States Air Force Museum)

Can anyone add any information (Serial numbers, manufacturers……) to the list or for that matter other survivors not on the list?
