The Sopwith Aviation Company founded in Kingston upon Thames by Thomas Octave Murdoch (Tommy, later Sir Thomas) Sopwith in June 1912. The company's first factory premises opened that December in a recently closed roller skating rink in Canbury Park Road near Kingston Railway Station in South West London. An early collaboration with the S. E. Saunders boatyard of East Cowes on the Isle of Wight, in 1913, produced the Sopwith "Bat Boat", an early flying boat with a Consuta laminated hull which could operate on sea or land. A small factory subsequently opened in Woolston, Hampshire in 1914.
Sopwith was the name of the factory owner - Sopwith Aviation Company. It was called the Camel because of a hump near the cockpit.
During WW1 one of the best aircraft flown by the allies was the Sopwith Camel,the Sopwith Pup was a close sister to the Camel yet somewhat smaller but just as effective in the hands of a expierenced flyer.
