Sopwith 2F.1 Camel, RNAS s/n N.6616,
was the personal mount of Flight Lieutenant
Claude Scudamore Emery, who in 1919 was
assigned by London to help train the next
generation of Estonian pilots. N.6616 had
previously served aboard the British aircraft
carrier, HMS Vindictive. In Estonia, Captain
Emery (promoted in Estonia) was very
protective of “his" Sopwith Camel. The Camel
however became a total loss, when Estonian
student pilot Aleksander Vernik was at the
controls, and crashed the aircraft.
Estonia’s Henri Farman HF-30 can be seen
behind the Camel and behind the HF-30 are
two Be.2cs.
