This seems to be the ultimate rarity in the album of E.G. Rowell. It shows a dual-control Sopwith Camel. Due to the tricky behaviour of the Sopwith Camel single seat fighter the English saw the need to modify a few as dual control / two-seat trainers. This sample shows likely an A.E.F. sample which was converted by technicians of that force. Noticeably the headrest on the RFC/RAF samples is omitted. The serial that is visible on the side '1514' needs some more research. There is an interesting article by Philip Jarrett about the two-seater Sopwith Camel in Cross and Cockade Winter 2012, of which the first page can be seen as an appetizer at www.crossandcockade.com/uploads/DC_Camels1.pdf
