| Dennis Pigrum Melbourne, DC | My Grandparents both worked in the WW1 Lincoln Factory where Sopwith Pups and Camels were built.
Tom Greaves was a Supervisor in Air Frame construction and played a part in the selection of the various types of timber that went into building these aircraft. In the years between WW1 and 2 Tom Greaves worked as a foreman Patternmaker in a Scottish Engineering Company. During WW2 he assisted the development of the first Mosquitoes by advising on the selection of the appropriates types of load bearing timbers for the airframes. This is all oral history so if anyone can point me towards objective evidence that confirms any of this it would be appreciated. 09/09/2006 @ 15:11 [ref: 14119] |
| Carrie Kirby , NY | My Grandfather, a long time pilot, has a Sopwith Pup Project underway that he is unable to complete due to vision loss. If anyone is interested in the details of the project, please let me know. I would be happy to provide the information. He would like to sell it to someone with the same desire to build it. 07/06/2006 @ 15:35 [ref: 13670] |
| james d. cooper thonotosassa, FL | I have a set of Sopwith Pup plans. They came from Jim Kiger,1400 Gomes Rd. Fremont, California, 94538,USA . He has several designs from WW1 and are excellent drawings. I do not know if he is still in business but if he is not I might share these with you. Write to him. You won't be disapointed with the quality of his work. He originally meant these drawings for model building but I spoke to him some time ago and asked if he would mind if I built a full scale airplane. He replied he would be delighted if I did. 11/19/2005 @ 13:05 [ref: 11739] |
