The Sopwith Pup

[nuuumannn]

Hi Guys, a new addition to my site is the Sopwith Pup.

A walkaround of The Vintage Aviator's Pup reproduction N6205 is included.

Link here: warbirds

Thanks for looking; future additions include an Australian Westland Wessex, German LVG C VI and the Australian War Memorial's Bf 109G.

Marvellous !
That's some deflection on the elevators - no wonder that little bleeder could perform so well !

Has to be my all-time favourite WWI aircraft. Just love the clean lines of the Pup. Thanks for sharing.

Cool plane!
One question - In the last picture, the large padded "D" shaped thing. Is the pilot supposed to press his face into that when sighting the gun?
Unless its a windscreen, I've never seen anything like that before.

It's primarily there to stop the pilot bashing his head on the gun in the event of a crash. Was a local modification. May have included a transparent section in the middle but I'm not sure of that.

Interesting!
Thanks Buffnut.
