Re: Photo Sopwith

Nice shot

Must have been just after its landing behind enemy lines 23 March 1918 after being hit in combat east of Peronne.
First Dolphin combat loss
Pilot 2/Lt Clarke made POW.

The aircraft itself deteriorated quickly since other photos show the Germans quickly took care of the rubber from the wheels and dismantled it.

Cheers
Stig
