Скачать или смотреть Sopwith Dolphin Assembled after Restoration

Behind the scenes video of the Sopwith Dolphin 5FI aircraft build. The Dolphin underwent restoration work at the Cosford Conservation Centre before being transported by road to the RAF Museum London and reassembled by our team of Technicians and Apprentices.

The Dolphin's unusual wing layout with its 'backwards stagger' was designed to provide the pilot with excellent all round visibility. This was achieved by placing the upper wings low on top of the fuselage, the pilot being positioned with his head in the centre where he was afforded a clear and uninterrupted view.
