EDITORS COMMENTS
N6635, a Sopwith 2F1 Camel, gracefully rests on the hallowed grounds of Brooklands Museum in Surrey, England. This iconic biplane, manufactured by the Sopwith Aviation Company in 1918, was a significant contributor to the Allied victory in World War I. Its distinctive shape, with its pusher propeller and open cockpit, made it a formidable presence in the skies. The Sopwith Camel, a single-seat biplane fighter, was one of the most successful and versatile aircraft of the First World War. It was used not only as a fighter but also as a trainer and a ground-attack aircraft. With its agility and maneuverability, the Camel was a favorite among pilots, earning the nickname "The Widowmaker" due to its reputation for being difficult to fly but rewarding for those who mastered it. N6635, with its original Rolls-Royce Falcon engine, was one of the last Camels to be built. It served in the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps before being retired from active service in 1920. After a period of time in private hands, it was restored to its former glory and became a cherished exhibit at the Brooklands Museum. This photograph captures the essence of aviation history, transporting us back to a time when the skies were a new frontier and the Sopwith Camel was a symbol of courage and innovation. The Camel's presence at Brooklands Museum is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable aircraft and the pioneering spirit of those who designed, built, and flew it.
