Re: Photo Sopwith
Clint/Stig,
I pulled my copy of J M Bruce's Sopwith Baby monograph (Albatros, Windsock Datafile No.60, 1996), out of storage. The volume has two photographs (on p.14), of the said Sopwith, with the following captions:
Photo 36. To improve take-off performance and water handling, this Baby was fitted with a pair of elegant floats designed by Major Linton Hope. Their planing bottoms had an outward slope, a feature that was later introduced on the Port Victoria PV5 fighter seaplane - Fine!
Photo 37. The Linton Hope "Schneider" at speed on the Thames - !!!
The batches are clearly defined, but, as Stig said: No serial - no positive ID.
Col.
