    Which of the Sopwith Camel models is the RANS one?

    Without having seen it I would expect Stackard as most of his victories were on Camels while serving with 9 Sqn RNAS.

    Aubrey Beauclerk Ellwood - the 'hearts' camel - is the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_Ellwood

    While an RAF plane the Brown Camel is actually from the same squadron, only dating from about a month later, after the merger with the RFC and an `A` rather than `B`flight aircraft.
    I suspect that all that happened was that the fuselage markings were overpainted and the vertical squadron/flight lines added.
    Stackard`s plane probably had two groups of twin vertical lines rather than a group of two and one single on each side at this point.
