Photo Comment

Built to represent a Royal Naval Air Service WWI machine, but with a non-existent serial number. RNAS Flight Sub-Lieutenant (acting Flight Lieutenant) Alfred Williams Carter DFC from Calgary shot down 4 enemy aircraft flying this type of aircraft, 5 previously using a Sopwith Pup and 8 subsequently flying a Sopwith Camel, making a total of 17 by the end of the war. In 2008 this aircraft was noted with N5487 on the port side but now has N6302 on both sides.
