Title: Sopwith Camel Reference - James Fahey's work
Post by: bobs_buckles on February 10, 2017, 08:56:44 PM

Hello all,
 A wee while back, James Fahey shared some super shots of a Clerget powered Sopwith Camel (restored)  based @ Hood Aerodrome, Masterton, NZ.
I have compiled all the photos into one PDF and it's available to down load from my website. Link below.

I did the easy part, James did all the legwork and deserves all the credit.

Go grab!

May The Wingnuts Be With You!

Well done Bob! Looks good.  Since I took those photos the new Camel has flown publicly, at the January 2017 TVAL flying weekend just a few eeks ago. I have uploaded more photos to my Photobucket album here:

No additional detail photos, think I covered that fairly well already ;-)  Here are a few (click on the images to enlarge):

Beautiful pics!! How I envy those who get to directly experience the Camel with the other senses. . . touch, sound, and smell!

Yes - fantastic pics - thank you for providing! I think one of my WNW Camels will have to be a Naval 10 machine - probably overdone scheme but it sure is sharp looking...
