	Sopwith Aviation Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sopwith company was wound up in 1920 after failing to achieve sufficient success with civilian products (which had prompted the purchase of ABC Motors in 1919) to compensate for the drop in military aircraft orders after the end of the War and a potential large demand from the government for Excess War Profits Duty.
		The Sopwith "Schneider" (a float-equipped Sopwith Tabloid) at the 1914 Schneider Trophy in Monaco.
		Sopwith attempted to produce aircraft for the civil market based on their wartime types, such as the Dove derivative of the Pup and the Swallow, a single-winged Camel, but the wide availability of war-surplus aircraft at knock-down prices meant this was never economic.

	Sopwith Tabloid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sopwith Tabloid was a biplane sports aircraft, one of the first to be built by the Sopwith Aviation Company.
		The Sopwith Schneider, piloted by Howard Pixton, at the 1914 Schneider Trophy in Monaco.
		On 20 April 1914, a version of the Tabloid, known as the Sopwith Schneider, equipped with floats and powered by a 100-hp (75 kW) Gnôme Monosoupape engine, won the Schneider Trophy in Monaco.

		An especially noticeable difference-even on the early Schneiders-was the additional diagonal strut in the float-attachment assembly (a feature that was to recur in the Schneider's lineal descendant the Hawker Nimrod, though in that instance respecting the center-section struts and not those which attached the floats).
		It was the smallest and lowest-powered aircraft in the race, and the French, feeling secure in their dominance of world aviation by this time, ridiculed the British team as they laboured over the still rusty engine, refusing to believe the rumours that the little biplane had already achieved 92 miles an hour in tests.
		By noting that the name Schneider was 'commonly used' one has in mind the quite extensive currency-in official and private documents alike-of the appellation 'Schneider Trophy [or Cup] seaplane'.

	Sopwith Schneider (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Sopwith Schneider was developed from the Tabloid in 1913.
		The Nieuports were the favorites, but the Sopwith was a complete unknown, even to the Sopwith crew, they had hardly flown it.
		In 1/72 the Eduard Schneider is dimensionally accurate, but rather poorly detailed, it was one of their earliest issues.

	Internet Modeler Profiles
		The Sopwith Aviation Company Ltd of Kingston-on-Thames was formed in 1912 and produced many outstanding designs prior to its demise in 1920, some of which are illustrated here.
		The first Sopwith design to see widespread service was the Land Clerget Tractor - better known as the 1 1/2 Srutter due to the arrangement of its cabane struts.
		The Strutter was produced in two variants: a single-seat bomber was used by the RNAS Wings as well as license-produced in France (in fact the French built more Strutters than the British); and a two-seat fighter which was used by both the RNAS and the RFC.

		In August 1908, Frenchman Jacques Schneider, son of an armaments manufacturer, met Wilbur Wright at Le Mans during the early demonstrations of the Wright brother's aeroplanes in Europe.
		The first Schneider Trophy contest, held in Monaco in April 1913, was won by a Frenchman, Maurice Prévost, in a monoplane flying at a speed of 45.75mph.

		Later Schneider seaplane 8189 flew a reconnaissance of Khan Yunis and reported a large camp which was subsequently bombed and leaflets dropped.
		A Schneider seaplane, using Verey lights, was substituted but found to be an unsatisfactory method so the ship sailed to within 2000 yards of the coast and opened enfilade fire.
		The Schneider marked the target with two incendiary bombs on the camp and then went on to drop a further five 16lb bombs causing considerable damage.

	Building the Sopwith 1914 Schneider racer in 1/72 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I chose the Tabloid because I thought it would be an easy conversion from the Eduard "Sopwith Schneider" 1/72 kit.
		In fact the bad news dissolved when I did this, it was the 1/48 kit of the Eduard Baby that needs a lot of reworking, the 1/72 Schneider kit is nearly perfect dimensionwise.
		The rear float on the Schneider racer is a rather odd affair, it looks as if they sliced a piece out of a very fat aerofoil, and stuck it under the tail.

	The Racing Campbells - Donald & Malcolm Campbell - Boats That Can Almost Fly
		The trophy was first competed for on April 16, 1913, at Monaco and won by a French Deperdussin at an average speed of 45.75 mph (about 73 km/h).
		With the British now having the opportunity to win the Trophy in perpetuity, the worldwide economic depression of the 1930s forced the British Government to withdraw any funding for the 1931 event.The Supermarine entry was saved when Lady Houston, the widow of a millionaire shipowner, made an unsolicited gift of £100,000.
		The streamlined shape and the low drag, liquid-cooled engine that was pioneered by Schneider Trophy designs are obvious in the British Supermarine Spitfire, the American P-51 Mustang and the Italian Macchi C.202 Folgore.

	Special Hobby 1/48 Sopwith Tabloid
		The Sopwith Tabloid first appeared in 1913 as a two-seater with pilot and passenger seated side-by-side, powered by an 80 h.p.
		Flown by Sopwith test pilot Howard Pixton, it became the first British winner of the Schneider Cup Trophy, with a then-stunning performance of 86.78 m.p.h.
		Later, the Tabloid was progressively developed into the Sopwith Schneider and later the Baby, as a single-seat floatplane fighter which was used throughout the First World War.

	Eduard 1/48 Sopwith Baby
		The Sopwith Baby traces its origins to the two-seat Sopwith Tabloid (or Scout) built by Sopwith in November 1913, and introduced into RFC service in the following month.
		The kit suffers from some inaccuracies, mostly because it is based on the Sopwith Schneider.
		The tips of both wings reflect the Sopwith Schneider, which were less squared at the corners than the Baby's, so I used Milliput epoxy putty to build up the corners.

	Speed is the key - PortCities Southampton
		The Schneider Trophy was an international race set up to promote the development of air travel by aeroplanes that could land and take off from water.
		Initially the competition's aims were to highlight safety and promote marine aircraft developments but by the end it had become a quest for speed.
		Britain won it in 1914 with a twin seater seaplane dubbed the Sopwith Schneider.

	Review:
		The availability of a nimble, swift single-seat float plane in the Schneider made it the obvious choice for the Royal Navy's first ship-borne fighter aircraft.
		Author Peter Grosz provides a good descriptive text that follows the development of the W.12 design from Austro-Hungarian land plane designs to the close relationship which developed between Hansa-Brandenburg and the German navy.
		Rimell, even prints an admirable disclaimer in the text, noting that he has no access to authentic WW I aircraft fabric samples and must therefore speculate as to the colors used.

		After HMS Arc Royal left the area and was assigned as aircraft repair ship, two of Sopwith Schneider seaplanes were assigned to HMS Dories and Minerva cruisers.
		Furthermore, it was found out that certain aircraft, such as the renowned pre-war racing Sopwith Tabloid, was impractical for reconnaissance due to poor forward and downward visibility.

	Nocturnal Defense of Great Britain in the First World War
		Since the latest and best equipment always went to France, the training units were left with worn-out examples or obsolete types, types rejected by front-line units, and equipment developed for quite other purposes than interception, such as seaplanes.
		In 1914, 1915, and 1916, many were pre-war French designs—under-powered Blériot, REP, and Morane-Saulnier monoplanes, for the most part, supplemented by tired Bristol Scouts and RN seaplanes, such as the Sopwith Schneider and Baby, which were speedy but hampered by their bulky floats.
		Few of these aircraft had the performance necessary for climbing up to a Zeppelin's cruising altitude, patroling until the raider was spotted, and then overhauling the airship.
