> Allan,

> I came across the following site :

> . . and was searching for some pictures of Sopwith Pups. 
> 
> There are a couple of pictures there, about which you may want to pass
> the following information, to Ted.
> 
> Picture 1-C-07-1 : This is picture of a flightline of aircraft, but the
> one in the foreground is an early Camel. The one behind it is definitely
> a Pup, as I think is the next. Beyond that I cannot be sure.
> 
> Picture 1-C-07-3 : This is a picture of a Sopwith Dove. The rear seat is
> set further back than a single seat and the decking/cowling has been
> altered to accept another seat. The fuel tank was moved to the floor
> under a seat (not sure which one . . the front I think) and a wind
> driven fuel pump was added. This was Sopwiths' attempt to market a
> civilianised military aircraft after the armistice, which was not
> successful.
> 
> My interest is specifically Pups, as I am helping to restore an original
> 1917 Standard Motors built example (B1807 now G-EAVX) to airworthy
> condition.
> 
> I hope this is of use.
