Talk:Sopwith Aviation Company

Untitled
TOM Sopwith (as he was known) was involved in America's Cup challenges in his Endeavour series of J-class yachts. This deserves a mention, both here (or in a TOM Sopwith article), & in the America's Cup article. GilesW 01:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Sopwith and the Royal Navy
Sopwith were contracted well before the war to produce aircraft for the Royal Navy - and very few "Sopwith-made" as opposed to Sopwith designed aircraft ever served with the RFC. This was in fact one of the "causes" of the RAF - the fact that service-specific contracts were capable of disrupting vital supplies and directly impinging on the war effort was not one that was felt to be tolerable in the long run.

This may warrant a well referenced paragraph or two in the article - in the meantime I have rearranged a sentence in the lead. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:39, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
