Sopwith Scout 'Normie'

AUD $400,000
A faithfully built, factory-accurate reproduction of the Sopwith Scout, better known as the 'Pup', this aircraft was built with strong connections with a WW-I Pup pilot whose name it carried.

It was completed by one of the most highly regarded WW-I aircraft rebuilders in the USA. Power is from an original Le Rhone rotary engine and original instruments are also fitted.
