On display at RAF Museum Hendon. The F.1 was powered by different rotary engines built by Bentley, Clerget, Gnome and Le Rhône that ranged from 100-160hp, though the standard was the 130hp Clerget 9B. Armament was a pair of synchronised forward-firing 0.303in Vickers machine guns for the single-seat fighting scout. Hard to handle but agile, the Camel shot down 1,294 aircraft and produced aces like Maj. Wiliam Barker. This aircraft was built by Boulton and Paul and wears the markings of No. 65 Sqn RAF.
