Sopwith Triplane
The Sopwith Triplane came into service in late 1916 and was an instant success with the British Naval Squadrons - the Army units (RFC) did not adopt it. It�s sparkling rate of climb and high ceiling, over 20,000ft, gave it a distinct advantage over contemporary German types. With an open cockpit at 20,000 ft, no oxygen and with only a leather coat for warmth I guess that the big hip flask was a regulation piece of kit.
The �Tripe� was famously flown by �B� Flight of 10 RNAS Squadron - better known as Black Flight. This was an all Canadian flight with their aircraft individually named - Black Maria, Black Prince, Black George, Black Death and Black Sheep - and decorated with black fins and cowling. Military black humour alive and well in that outfit! The flight claimed 87 German aircraft in three months with their commander Raymond Collishaw (also Canadian) scoring 34 of his eventual 60 total in the Sopwith.

Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight
