EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated January 1920, captures the Sopwith Dove parked on the tarmac in Adelaide, South Australia. The Sopwith Dove, a biplane torpedo bomber and reconnaissance aircraft of the Royal Naval Air Service during World War I, is seen here in its post-military life. The aircraft, registration number K168, is a two-seater, piston-propelled machine with a distinctive 'tail-dragger' configuration. Lieutenant Miller and Engineer Jerop are seen in the foreground, their attire suggesting a civil aviation context. The Sopwith Dove, also known as the Pup, Cuckoo, or Dove, was a versatile aircraft that saw both military and civil use in the 1910s and 1920s. Its success in military service led to its continued use in civilian aviation for various purposes, including passenger transport and crop dusting. The image offers a glimpse into the early days of aviation in Australia, with the Sopwith Dove representing the cutting edge of technology and innovation during that era. The aircraft's sleek design and powerful engine made it a popular choice for both military and civilian pilots, and its enduring legacy can still be seen in modern aviation. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation in Australia and the world, and serves as a reminder of the thrill and excitement that came with the early days of flight.
