Respect! for an inspirational build--as in get off the perch and get to work on my own.
One more question. Did you come across any comparison of flying qualities compared to the standard Camel?
I would think that with weight moved up and aft, there might be less maneuverability and more stability.
There's very little information available on the Camel 'Comic'.
Only a maximum of 150 Camels were converted to the 'Comic' version and these were eventually replaced by other types, including actual Camels.
The Camel itself was showing its age by mid-1918, as by then it showed its lack of speed and performance at altitude compared to other types.
I can only assume the 'Comic' performed adequately enough, especially as it was flown mostly at night,
