Product Description

Sopwith Camel B6299 (RNAS 10 Naval Sqn) (1:48 scale)
- 10 Naval Sqn was formed in Feb 1917 & was initially equipped with Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters. They then converted to Sopwith Triplanes & by the time the Camels arrived later in 1917, Naval 10’s famous Triplane ‘ Black Flight’ had already scored around 50 victories & were gaining a fearsome reputation within the German Air Service. Norman Miers Mac Gregor was one of 29 Aces to fly with ‘ Naval 10’. He moved to the Sqn as a flight commander from 6 Naval Sqn late in 1917. He finished the war with 7 (possibly 8) kills to his name with the last two being gained in Camel B6299. As a ‘B’ Flight aircraft it was identified by the large white ‘B’ on the fuselage sides & the distinctive red & white striping around the cowling area & the rear decking behind the cockpit.
