What Is This?

Recommended Posts

I am not a WWI buff by any means. (Even though I do have a nice stack off Osprey WWI books) Digging the AI in the patch though. Anyway, what is this on my Camel?

It's a windmill driven fuel pump, called a Rotherham pump.

 

Although placed in a somewhat dangerous position for the pilot, it was thought to be better if it was placed within reach, in case of malfunction. An alternate placing was on the undercarriage struts.
