10/31/2007. Built as a two-seat Sopwith Dove in 1918 and delivered to the RFC with the serial 9917. Was registered as G-EBKY on March 27, 1925 and acquired by the Shuttleworth Collection in 1936 and subsequently converted to a single-seat Pup. The registration was cancelled on September 24, 1956.

After a long period of static display marked N5180 it was restored to airworthy condition and the registration was restored on April 8, 1993. In 2005 it received the present RNAS colour scheme and clearly visible on the outer wing struts are the attachments for the dummy rockets that were designed for use against airships.
