That aircraft is too precious to be locked up like that. I hope whomever buys it both looks after it impeccably, and allows the public to see it. I had no idea it was in the States... that really snuck under the wire for me. Any idea who the owner is, or what other aircraft he owns?

Cheers,
Richard

The Camel was rebuilt in the 1980's in the U.K . It then received attention
from Hawker Restorations and lived for a while at Shuttleworth. It's probably been in the U.S for twelve years.

Except for the missing engine, detached wings, no instruments, nor crew chief, it appears to be ready to fly. You think it could be used as a glider?

The article on the Sopwith Camel is in the July 2002 Air Classics.
