Re: Photo Sopwith
Col
Without a serial number I think you will be hard pushed to identify this one. The Naval Air Service designated the Monosoupape engined tractor biplane/seaplanes both as Schneider and Baby. I don't know why they (Sopwith?) changed name specifically on contract C.P.48013/15 and in spite of using both engines (also the Clerget one) they still were known by the name Baby in the batch 8118 - 8217. All earlier M-engined aircraft were known as Schneiders. However you are correct, they were never known as Tabloids. That name was only used by the RFC. Cheers Stig
