Something for Camel Fanciers ...

The attached is from a collection of Isle of Grain Test reports collected in AIR 1-1204-204-5-2616 for a Modified F1 Camel.

Anyone got a photo of the modified Camel, E7274?

Images are pdf to fit the download limits.

Sorry, piecost, you get what you see. It was buried in a mound of floatplane, flyingboat and Sopwith Cuckoo tests.

Diary of the Sopwith Aviation Company for 1918

I can't say nothing specific about this machine, especially since English machines aren't my area of ​​expertise, but whenever I'm looking for something interesting about the Camel, Snipe, or Snail, I look here.

Diary of the Sopwith Aviation Company for 1918:

Great information, great photos from the workshops, prototypes and more.
