An Australian mate recently sent me a pic of an unusual find.
A Sopwith designed product built by Ruston Proctor Ltd. What could it be ?
A little research soon provided a likely suspect.
Lady munitionettes with a newly built Sopwith Camel, at Lincoln during WW1.
Ruston Proctor built these planes under license at a ( recently demolished ) factory in Lincoln.
How did this lable get as far as Australia ? It was probably 'souvenired' from a plane wreck in France and taken home in an AEF back back !
