A pair of former CP Rail SW1200RS pups switch the CAMI plant. After a day of chasing an RS-18u / FP9A combo between Putnam and Woodstock finding this pair switching CAMI was the icing on the cake.
The Sopwith Pup was a single-seater biplane fighter aircraft used by Great Britain in WWI. Manufactured by the Sopwith Aviation Company, it was officially named the Sopwith Scout but nicknamed the Pup because it looked like a smaller version of the two-seat Sopwith 1½ Strutter.
The Pup was a conventional biplane with a mainly wooden framework covered in fabric. Although rather underpowered, its performance was lively especially at altitude mainly due to a light wing loading. It had half the horsepower and armament of the German Albatros D.III, but was much more manoeuvrable than the German type, especially at altitudes over 15,000 ft. Armament was a single 0.303 inch synchronised Vickers machine-gun.
1,770 Pups were built by a total of four factories. The Pup was used by both the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) from October 1916. By spring 1917, the type was already outclassed by the newest German fighters and the RNAS had replaced theirs, first with Sopwith Triplanes, and then Sopwith Camels. The RFC Pup squadrons on the other hand had to soldier on, in spite of increasing casualties, until the autumn of 1917. It continued in various second-line roles for the remainder of the war.
Sopwith Pups were also used in many pioneering carrier experiments. On 2 August 1917, a Sopwith Pup flown by Squadron Commander Edwin Dunning became the first aircraft to land aboard a moving ship, HMS Furious, although Dunning was killed on his third landing when the Pup fell over the side of the ship. Pups began operations on carriers in early 1917, with the first aircraft fitted with skid undercarriages in place of wheels. Landings utilised a system of deck wires to "trap" the aircraft. Later versions reverted to the normal undercarriage. Sopwith Pups were used as ship-based fighters on three carriers: HMS Campania, Furious and Manxman. A number of other Pups were deployed to cruisers and battleships where they were launched from platforms attached to gun turrets. The US Navy also employed the Sopwith Pup with testing of the use of carrier-borne fighters in the 1920s. - Wikipedia.
The above aircraft is actually a modified Sopwith Dove and can be seen landing at the Shuttleworth Collection where it routinely still flies.
9/365This is one of the little otter pups from the river outside our house, We have managed to feed them a few times at night, But have never seen the pups out during the day, Seen mum on a few occasions, I was having a coffee outside this morning and heard there distinctive squeal, Nipped down to the river bank to see this wee beauty struggling to get up the blocks on the banking, The banking here is only about 3 feet high so It'll give you an idea of how small the otter is. It did manage to get up and into it's holt so all good. Soooooo cute though.
Excuse the poor quality, It's a 80% crop from a manual focus 135 lens.
A mother is a pup’s best pillow. Galápagos sea lion (Zalophus wollebaeki) pup resting its chin on its mother’s flipper. Why is the sand not black, like the lava? Because it is comprised of the pulverized skeletons of sea creatures (crabs, corals, etc.).

Went to the Seal Pups for the last time this year. It was really great to see that most of the pups have survived the severe storms over the last few weeks.
It was a real privilege to spend some time with friends today capturing a few images of the gorgeous seal pups on the Saltee Islands.
I was at the beach photographing seals, when I came across this seal pup. I was sitting on a rock for a good 20 minutes photographing seals out in the water when I finally realized it was laying at the hide tide mark about 20 feet from me. I thought for sure it was dead; it didn’t look like it was breathing, and I assumed it washed up with the tide. About 30 minutes after that, I was a bit surprised when it suddenly woke up from its nap and gave me a look. It didn’t seem that concerned about my presence and he eventually made his way down near the water line for another nap. When the tide rose a bit more, he eventually gave in and decided to swim off.
A young grey seal pup at Donna Nook National Wildlife Reserve, Lincolnshire. I've not had time to post anything from my trip until now. It was great to meet up with 3 of my Flickr contacts - Jane (who I knew would be there), Andrew and Maria (a lovely surprise and so good to see you again). I learned later that yet another contact, Lynda, was there too but I had missed her.
