Thanks Des for posting these, and thanks to Gunther also! The Late Snipe is one I still have in the stash to build. I also like the background Aircraft, 2 56 Sq. birds and a 43 Sq. one as well

Thanks Rick, I'm hoping that these photos will help our two boys (Lance and Chris) who are both building the Snipe at the moment.

Thanks for your comments !
It is often very interesting to see the real size of an object.
She is rather small .
The Snipe reminds me of a wasp ready for stinging, already a transition to a more modern approach
to aircraft building.
viele Grüße, Gunther

A detailed view of the rotary engine, engine compartment and pilot's cockpit on a Snipe, also gives a nice view of the pilot's twin Vickers machine guns.

Des,
Many thanks to you and Gunther my old friend. I believe Gunther has been a boon to all of modelers with so many excellent Museum aircraft photographs. Even came up with photographs of a Becker 20mm cannon ,wow!
Highest Regards,
