Its years since lve perused Warship but l used to marvel at how they could accurately identify

battleships down to the individual turret but were downright hopeless at naming a plane if it was sitting on top of a turret.

Sopwith Camels were Pups , 1 1/2 Strutters were Camels , Pups were Camels etc

How could they get one piece of kit spot on and be rubbish at the "easy" items like a Sopwith?
