This photograph showcases the historic Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) Sopwith Dove/Pup N5180, built by Sopwith in 1919 as a two-seat Dove, registered G-EBKY. After its initial service life, the aircraft was later acquired by aviation enthusiast Richard O. Shuttleworth and converted to a single-seat Pup configuration in 1938. The aircraft underwent a long period of static display before being meticulously restored to airworthy condition in the 1990s. The Sopwith Dove/Pup N5180 is an intriguing piece of aeronautical history, embodying the spirit of innovation and adventure that characterized early aviation. With its distinctive design and rich military heritage, this aircraft is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those who pioneered flight in the Royal Naval Air Service. This image captures the essence of a bygone era in aviation history, transporting us back to a time when the skies were a new frontier for exploration and discovery.
