   On a crisp cold day at the end of November 2023 the APSS rolled their Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter out of the hangar to fire her up and circulate the oil around her 9 cylinder radial engine.
   The #aircraft is a replica dedicated to the aircraft flown by Richard Bell Davies V.C. in 1918 landing on HMS Argus in the firth of Forth thus sparking the Aircraft Carrier age.
