Development

First flown in November 1914 the Type 807 was two-bay unswept biplane with unequal span wings. It had twin strut-mounted floats under the fuselage and a float mounted under the tail. It was powered by a nose-mounted 100hp (75kW) Gnome Monosoupape engine. It had two tandem open cockpits with the observer in the forward cockpit under the upper wing leading edge and the pilot in the rear cockpit under the upper wing trailing edge. It was sometime referred to as the Sopwith Folder due to them being fitted with a Short Brothers designed folding mechanism for the wings.
