#93
Gordon Bennett Racer.
Two aircraft were produced by Sopwith for the Race, the race did not take place due to the First World War.
One of the wo was very slim and had a very slight rudder, the other resembled a Tabloid.
My model is the former.
Scratch built on a modified Pup fuselage.
This was at Hendon and in RNAS use, no.1215, it did not see any operational use.

Here is the Three seat Biplane under construction, balsa core fuselage, filler and plastic card covering.
