The Sopwith Baby, also called the Admiralty 8200 Type, was a single-seat floatplane flown by the Royal Naval Air Service from 1915 as a development of the two-seat Sopwith Schneider. It had a wooden structure with fabric covering and carried a Lewis gun, fitted above the fuselage or over the top wing. The Service ordered 286, of which Sopwith built 100 at Kingston and Blackburn built 186 at Leeds, and Ansaldo of Turin built 100 under licence for the Italian navy. Babies flew reconnaissance and bombing missions from seaplane carriers, cruisers, trawlers and minelayers and from coastal air stations, and some Norwegian-built examples stayed in service until 1930.
