Of the 5,734 Sopwith Camels delivered (5,914 ordered), none is more famous than that flown by the Canadian ace, William George Barker – B6313. B6313 was completed by the Sopwith Aviation Co. Ltd of Kingston-on-Thames and delivered to the Aeroplane Acceptance Park at Kenley on September 11, 1917. On 24 September, B6313 went to No.28 Sqn RFC based at Yatesbury. In October, William George Barker joined the Squadron as C Flight Commander and flew with No.28 Sqn in France. He later shot down an Albatros D.V which he didn’t claim as he wasn’t supposed to cross the lines, but went on to down several more Albatros fighters.
