Revell H-291 by speedgraflex

It’s a Sopwith Camel flown by the RAF Major William Barker who managed somehow to keep the same aircraft through his military career. This represents the aircraft following a rebuild of new wings and motor following a takeoff or landing crash on the field. Barker was uninjured but the aircraft was seriously hurt and was rebuilt. At the time personal markings and a red devil hood ornament were added!

Thanks Bruce - I thought that was the case but I got a bit confused by the Snipe photo's in the first page of your thread.

Woops! That's not a natural looking position for a camel is it. He did well to get out of that.
