"If you can fly in a Sopwith Camel ..." will say Biggles ... 
But he first crashes this full-size static model of Shuttleworth's Sopwith Pup (N5180, as actually painted; former G-EBKY), built especially for the film by Skysport Engineering in just five weeks. 
(The Camel has succeeded the Pup and "was difficult to fly, with 90% of its weight in the front seven feet of the aircraft").
