Norman M. MacGregor was one of 29 Aces to fly with Naval 10. He moved to the squadron as a flight commander from 6 Naval Squadron late in 1917. He finished the war with 7 (possibly 8) kills to his name with the last two being gained in Camel B6299. As a ‘B’ Flight aircraft it was identified by the white ‘B’ on the sides of the fuselage and the distinctive red and white striping around the cowling area and on the rear decking behind the cockpit.
The Sopwith Aviation Company produced the Camel F.1, a famous biplane of World War I. First flown in 1916, The Camel was the most successful fighter plane of the war and difficult to defeat when flown by a skilled pilot. Although highly maneuverable the Sopwith Camel was tricky to fly and more men lost their lives while learning to fly it than did during combat.
The Corgi Aviation Archive features a wide selection of high quality, ready-made, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using specifications of the original aircraft. Corgi models are built with diecast metal and some plastic components.
