We are building from plans so sourcing accurate drawings is imperative and not easy - we have come across a number of inconsistencies. Cross- referencing against museum aircraft is not necessarily helpful as many are replicas themselves and not necessarily built to 1917-18 specifications.
Plans:
Replicraft
Sopwith Microfilm (subsequently digitised)
original documentation from other sources (not complete)
Books:
Windsock datafiles
World War 1 Aero magazines
Cross & Cockade, WW1 Aero Historians magazines
various books specific to the Camel or air warfare in WW1
Specialists and enthusiasts:
too many individuals to mention by name but you will see some on the various pages
Classique Aero Service (Patrick Siegwald) - the supervising engineer
Northern Aeroplane Workshops who are currently building a Sopwith Camel for the Shuttleworth Collection
Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis (the aircraft collection at La Ferte Alais, near Paris)
