The Sopwith Snipe flown by George Barker, VC.

The RAF Museum in Hendon recently received a Sopwith Snipe built by the New-Zealand-based company The Vintage Aviator Ltd. The aircraft, which is painted in a postwar silver finish, incorporates many original parts. It is only intended for static display as it is not airworthy.
