The Sopwith 7F.1 Snipe was a British single-seat biplane fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was designed and built by the Sopwith Aviation Company during the First World War, and came into squadron service a few weeks before the end of that conflict, in late 1918. The Snipe was not a fast aircraft by the standards of its time, but its excellent climb and manoeuvrability made it a good match for contemporary German fighters. It was selected as the standard post-war single seat RAF fighter and the last examples were not retired until 1926.

  • Many find the the Snipe looks like someone "took a Camel and rammed it into a wall", due to the similarity to the Camel. Two other variants are known for this plane: The Sopwith Salamander, and the Sopwith Dragon.
