EDITORS COMMENTS
This side view photograph showcases the iconic Sopwith Pup, military registration number N5180, of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), stationed at the renowned Brooklands aerodrome. The Sopwith Pup, a single-seat biplane designed by the British aviation pioneer, Thomas Sopwith, was a significant development in military aviation during World War I. The image reveals the intricate details of the Pup's design, including its distinctive wooden structure, fabric-covered wings, and the open cockpit where the brave pilots took off and landed. The engine, a 35 horsepower Le Rhône rotary engine, is visible through the open cowling. The Pup was primarily used for reconnaissance and training purposes, making it an essential asset for the RNAS. Brooklands, located in Weybridge, Surrey, was a pioneering aviation and motor racing site, hosting the first British motor race in 1907. The aerodrome played a crucial role in the development and testing of early aircraft, making it an ideal location for the RNAS to base their Sopwith Pups. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history of military aviation and the crucial role that the Sopwith Pup, and the RNAS, played during the early days of flight. The side view perspective adds an extra dimension to the image, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this historic aircraft.
