<\/p>\nSecretly stored in a loft in England since WWI, this 1917 Sopwith Camel<\/a> #B6291 was discovered by a former Royal Flying Corps Camel pilot with the cooperation of Sir Thomas Sopwith. Carefully restored to flying status by British Aerospace Co., at last it is here now in the U.S.<\/p>\n
Nothing compares to this remarkable and historical fighter that once flew over the battlefields of the Western Front in 1917. This is the most desirable Camel existing in the world today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Additional information<\/a> at the Vintageaviation.net<\/a> sales listing area suggests (via recent valuations of the aircraft) a price of somewhere between USD $1,800,000 and $2,600,000.<\/p>\n
Sigh…<\/p>\n
