10 Naval Sqn was formed in Feb 1917 and was initially equipped with Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters. They then converted to Sopwith Triplanes and by the time the Camels arrived later in 1917, Naval 10’s famous Triplane ‘Black Flight’ had already scored around 50 victories and were gaining a fearsome reputation within the German Air Service. Norman Miers MacGregor was one of 29 Aces to fly with ‘Naval 10’. He moved to the Sqn as a flight commander from 6 Naval Sqn late in 1917. He finished the war with 7 (possibly 8) kills to his name with the last two being gained in Camel B6299. As a ‘B’ Flight aircraft it was identified by the large white ‘B’ on the fuselage sides and the distinctive red and white striping around the cowling area and the rear decking behind the cockpit.
1:48 scale (approx. 17cm wingspan) - made by Corgi.
