Not the best warplane, for by the time it was in widespread service its performance and firepower were inferior to contemporary opposition like the Albatross - but the Pup was dainty, willing, joyful – ‘you could do anything with it’. Later Sopwith models like the Camel and Snipe were more powerful and militarily effective but more vicious in their characteristics, whereas the government- designed SE5 was fast and a brilliant gun- platform but lacked the Pup’s sparkle. Not surprising then that when I happened to be in the right place at the right time to experience a replica Pup, albeit radial powered rather than rotary, I was quick to take up the offer. G-BZND was built as an LAA project by Brendan Goddard in the Southampton area. Started in 1989, Brendan built the aircraft in a very modest lean-to workshop at the back of his house, under the supervision of local PFA inspector and vintage aircraft guru Ron Souch.

    RAF COLLEGE CRANWELL “Pre-War Training Aircraft” Training Aircraft at RAF Cranwell 1920 - 1939 Version 1.2 dated 7 November 2020 created by IBM Steward 6GE In its electronic form, this document contains underlined, hypertext links to additional material, including alternative source data and archived video/audio clips. [To open these links in a separate browser tab and thus not lose your place in this e-document, press control+click (Windows) or command+click (Apple Mac) on the underlined word or image] A Review Written in 1961 College Models on Display These models represent aircraft that flew from RAF Cranwell from 1918 to 1939. They were hand built from scratch to 1/48 scale by Peter Stephenson who lives nearby and produced them to supplement presentations that he gave locally on the history of RAF Cranwell between the two World Wars. These models are no longer used and Mr Stephenson donated them to the College in February 2009. All the models bear the airframe serial numbers allocated to actual aircraft during their period of service at RAF Cranwell.

  • Home Defence Flight Station Brattleby (RFC)
    Brattleby - First World War - Losses Other Than Village Residents In addition to those residents who lost their lives during the Great War a number of other people died while serving at the Home Defence Flight Station Brattleby (also known as Brattleby Cliff). It was opened on the site of the current RAF Scampton in late 1916. The first operational unit was A Flight, 33 Sqn RFC, which flew FE2bs and Avro 504’s defending against the Zeppelin threat and[duties involving aerial co-operation for coastal defence. 1] The site then developed into a training aerodrome, supporting No. 60 Training Sqn, followed by No. 81 and No. 11 Training Sqns, flying the Sopwith Camel, Pup and Dolphin. It was closed in April 1919. The area was then returned to its previous owners and by 1920 all the buildings, including the hangars, had been removed.[3][4] There were 37 such airfields in Lincolnshire with one at South Carlton. Squadron HQ: Kirton Lindsey. Personnel: officers: 7, NCOs: 3, Corporals: 2 & R&F: 39. Aircraft: Avro: 8 Aerodrome: 1,400yds by 1,000yds - 287 acres (30 acres occupied by station buildings). HASL: 200ft, soil is loam on limestone. Sheds: aeroplane sheds - 80ft by 130ft: 2. The airfield was home to Nos.11 & 60 Training Squadrons, and No. 81 Squadron on 01.04.1918, later becoming No. 34 Training Depot Station. Also ‘A' Flight of No. 33 Squadron (Avro 504) spent some time there. 50% of those who died did so whilst training. The Great War (1914 - 1918) During the Great War Lincolnshire was of strategic importance to the air campaign in two ways.
