Welcome

Welcome. This is the story of my journey to build a replica of a Sopwith Pup.
Drawings now online

I uploaded scans of all the Sopwith Pup drawings, SL fittings, etc to Mediafire... over 400 files in total!

Here's a link to all the files.

Bits & Pieces

Still not finding a huge amount of workshop time, but have at least been making a progress recently on the sourcing of various bits & pieces, with help from Jim McTaggart (laser-cut metal fittings, streamlined trailing edge tube) and Tim Rayner (fuel tank cap). Acquired a CD with the original plans scanned into it, which will be a useful resource. My big acquisition has been a Type 5/17 compass in really nice condition. It set me back quite a tidy little sum but Janet agreed to the purchase on the basis of it being an investment. Which is true, it definitely won't decline in value. It has been delivered to my parents' house in England and I'm excited to pick it up when I'm over in London next weekend.
