THE prototype of the Sopwith F1 Camel was completed just before Christmas 1916, and the design was soon ordered in quantity for both the RNAS and the RFC. At about the same time the Sopwith design staff were working on the design of a replacement for the Sopwith Baby single-seat seaplane; this, prepared under the company type designation FS1, was known as the Sopwith Improved Baby. The serial numbers N4 and N5 were allotted for two prototypes, which were on order in January 1917.
