==Surviving aircraft== [[File:SopPup.jpg|thumb|The [[Shuttleworth Collection]] Sopwith Pup in flight]] * B1807 – Pup under restoration to airworthy condition. Built by Standard Motors in 1917 and delivered to a Home Defence squadron. This aircraft was originally fitted with a {{cvt|100|hp}} Gnome Monosoupape engine, along with the distinctive three-quarter vented cowling. It was refitted by the {{cvt|80|hp}} Le Rhône engine sometime in 1918. B1807 was sold at Croydon in 1920 and entered the civil register as G-EAVX. It appeared on 16 July at the 1921 [[Aerial Derby]] at Hendon, where it was [[Ground loop (aviation)|groundlooped]] by its pilot. The wings were removed and the fuselage disappeared until 1973, when the current owner discovered the remains of the aircraft in a barn in Dorset.<ref>{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.sopwithpupuk.co.uk/?page_id=79|website=Sopwith Pup B1807 / G-EAVX|access-date=13 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=GINFO Search Results [G-EAVX]|url=https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplication.aspx?appid=1&mode=detailnosummary&fullregmark=EAVX|website=Civil Aviation Authority|access-date=12 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Rare Aircraft Lands at Tyntesfield|url=http://www.warbirdsnews.com/warbirds-news/rare-aircraft-lands-tyntesfield.html|website=Warbirds News|publisher=Warbirds News|access-date=13 May 2017|date=13 August 2015}}</ref> * N5182 – Pup on static display at the [[Royal Air Force Museum Cosford]] in [[Cosford, Shropshire]].
