Add a Legendary Aircraft to Your Event!

Bring a true showstopper to your next event with the Canadian Museum of Flight’s full-scale Sopwith Camel replica—a stunning, historically rich centerpiece that never fails to draw a crowd. This meticulously crafted reproduction of the iconic World War I fighter plane is available for rent as a static display and can be taken anywhere throughout the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley area. Whether you’re planning a themed celebration, educational event, corporate function, or public display, the Sopwith Camel offers an unforgettable visual artifact and conversation starter.

Transported in its own custom-built trailer, the aircraft is safely and easily moved to your location with the wings detached. Assembly on-site is efficient and straightforward, requiring just three people and about 15 minutes. Disassembly is just as quick. A team of Canadian Museum of Flight volunteers will be on hand to take care of everything, ensuring a hassle-free and professional setup.

Built from original blueprints in 1985 by aircraft mechanic apprentices, the replica showcases authentic construction methods with subtle modern updates for static display. It features fascinating details like a mock rotary engine and twin Vickers machine guns, inviting curious onlookers to get up close to early aviation history. This is the very aircraft that has appeared in public spaces like shopping centres across the Fraser Valley, consistently stealing the spotlight.

Adding the Sopwith Camel to your event does more than delight your guests—it also supports the Canadian Museum of Flight’s mission. Proceeds from rentals help fund ongoing aircraft restoration projects, exhibit development, and educational outreach that inspires new generations of aviation enthusiasts.

Make your gathering one to remember with a legendary piece of aviation history!
