How the Sopwith F.1 looks like a camel was always lost on me, but it's just about the metal fairing fitted over the machine gun breeches to protect the guns from freezing at altitude. Original WWI aircraft in the Brussels Air Museum. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
