Fueling an RNAS Sopwith Pup

[Michael Scarborough]

Hello, all,

What would the procedure have been for fueling a Pup that was based on board a ship?

I swear I saw a photo of a mechanic on a ladder pouring fuel from a can with a goose neck spout into a Pup, but can now not find the photo. Does this scenario make sense?

Any ideas?

Cheers from NYC,

These photos might give you a few ideas on how the aircraft was refuelled using cans and a funnel, hope it helps.
