Talked to a chap who flew both the Tripehound and the Camel, Henry Botterell, a few days ago when visiting him in Canada. He said the Tripe climbed like a lift but getting down was a problem, you couldn't dive it like you could the Camel. Then he chuckled, looked thoughful and again recalled how well the Tripe climbed. His memory was unfortunately somewhat clouded, in more ways than one. Henry Botterell is today 102 years old
