Sopwith T.1 Cuckoo drops torpedo at East Fortune

Here we see Sopwith T.1 Cuckoo N6954 dropping a torpedo at the Torpedo Aeroplane School at East Fortune at some point between 24-26 July 1918. This aircraft was from the first production batch, but although some aircraft were ready by the summer of 1918, the type didn't appear in large enough numbers early enough to enter combat during the First World War.
