Re: Photo Sopwith

Hi Stig. No I don't think they were, the prototype must have gone to St. Omer from Martlesham. There was too short a time period for it to have any gunnery training ( or need really).
Hythe and Dymchurch were names for the the same location (the ranges were at Hythe); also called "Palmarsh" in some Kent County records which was a part of Hythe.
I've got relatives at Kingston-on-Thames probably near the old Sopwith factory.


Regards
Nick
