Hello friends
I am currently involved with Old Warden on the Camel project (and possibly Dixie) making up the various metal work components around the engine and cowl.
I am very interested if anyone has any photographs of the old workshops as I wish to confirm the techniques I am using are consistent with the ways of 1917/18.I have done all the obvious searches but so far drawn a complete blank
Can anyone help?

Churchill is not the only one to be shown around. Flight magazine on 7th & 14th February 1914 in articles entitled “An aeroplane in the making” describes processes like wing rib construction and wing assembly in the Sopwith Skating Rink Factory as shown here.
