Pictured is a French-built Sopwith 1 1/2-Strutter. The designation on the fin is SOP1B2 and the constructor's number 4080, but no manufacturer is shown. Several companies built Strutters in France. The anchor seems to imply that it was a French Navy aircraft and it was operating from a beach when it nosed up. Tell us more.
The Sopwith in the last issue was not a naval aircraft, despite the anchor. Only a few went to the Navy and were based at St-Raphael and Hyeres on the Mediterranean although a couple were stationed at St-Pol-sur-Mer. Lucien Morareau confirms the fact that the aircraft shown are Aeronautique militaire aircraft. A large number of One-and-a-half-strutters were built in France, mainly by SECM (Amiot), Liore et Olivier and Hanriot, as well as some smaller firms, as the Sopwith 1A2and 1B2. The location is not in the Dunkerque area but further down the coast at Le Crotoy, at the mouth of the Somme. They belong to the Ecole de bombardement which used the beaches at low tide as an airfield.
