Sopwith in Omaka

Hiya,

Here’s a compliation of some of my Sopwith Camel shots I took.
I absolutely love this machine with it’s noisy bang-bang-bang-stutter-stutter stutter caster oil-belching rotary engine..

They’re not that great pics but hope you like.

Makes you wonder how the pilots who flew the things on a daily basis must have felt after each sortie…! 😮

Camels are loud

Hi

Of all the aircraft I have been beside, only the camel made me wish I had ear plugs!

I believe the airframe is original but the engine had to be sourced from elsewhere

Does anyone know the history of this Camel (replica?) and what type/size of rotary it has?
