[WWI] Sopwith Salamander

[Paul Thompson]

>It wasn't too informative, as the cockpit sidewalls were of
nondescript black. What I gleaned from that drawing was that in all
probabilities the cockpit was made up of steel sheets, with an internal
wooden structure similar to the Sopwith Snipe.<   (D.)


There's a photos in Model Aircraftt monthly where you can see that the metal 
side sheet is screwed from the outside. The top longeron is on the outside 
of the sheet,  the other wooden members are presumably inside - atleast, you 
can see fixing heads (in this case it's too fuzzy to see if they're screws 
or not) in the right place for the seat support, the bottom longeron, and 
something at the front which may be to do with the insrument panel.
