This replica Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter C-FSOP was registered in 2003 to the Ontario Aviation Historical Society which operates the Great War Flying Museum at Brampton-Caledon Airport (CNC3), northwest of Toronto. The aircraft was visiting Downsview Airport (CYZD) in Toronto for the departure of the Vickers Vimy replica for St. John's, Newfoundland to recreate Alcock and Brown's famous non-stop flight across the North Atlantic. The Vimy replica spent a week in Toronto having its Orenda piston engines inspected before its flight to Ireland. It can be seen just in front of the Sopwith. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
