		The Camel was developed by Herbert Smith towards the end of 1916 and the prototype flew on December 22.
		The Camel, designed by Herbert Smith to succeed the Sopwith Pup and triplane, had none of the docile handling qualities of its predecessors, and had to be mastered before it could be flown successfully, but Camels were credited with destroying more enemy aircraft than any other Allied type.
		The Camel was quickly replaced by the Snipe in postwar RAF service, but served with the Belgian Aviation Militaire, the CAF, the Royal Hellenic Naval Air Service, the Polish Air Force and the US Navy; two came on to the British civil register.

		Although the Sopwith Camel scored numerous victories over enemy aircraft, three of its achievements are of particular importance in the annals of military aviation history.
		But the Camel 's greatest moment of glory came on April 21, 1918, when a young Canadian pilot named Captain A.R.Brown of the 209th squadron finally shot down the greatest air ace of the First World War- Germany's Baron Manfred von Richthofen.

		Whole tomes have been written about the Sopwith Camel, so to be brief, it was the most successful fighter produced by any of the combatant nations of World War One, with pilots flying this aircraft shooting down the best part of 3,000 enemy aircraft.
		The Camel was first flown in late 1916, and was made in the F1 variant (two forward-firing Vickers machine guns) and the 2F1 version that had one.303 forward Vickers machine gun and one Lewis machine gun on the upper wing.
		Many years ago, I saw a replica of the Camel and recall that it was a sandy brown colour inside, so not having anything else to go on, I painted mine in Humbrol 83, which to my eye is a close match to the colour I remember.

		A deadly weapon in the hands of a skilled pilot well versed in its eccentricities, which could be turned to advantage in combat, it was the undoing on many a 'rookie' pilot.
		The Camels strong personality left a lasting impression on all who flew it, and its powers of maneuver were a delight to those brilliant exponents of aerobatics who chose it as their favorite 'mount'.
		The aeroplane spun quickly, had an extremely sensitive elevator control and was very fast on right-hand turns owing to the great gyroscopic force produced by the rotary motor, aided by the short fuselage.
