In 1913 a Sopwith pusher floatplane was delivered to the Greek Government.  A followup order for six was seized by the Admiralty,
and the planes, Nos. 801-806, were converted to armed landplanes.
The were known as the '''Sopwith Gunbus'''.
A second order followed the first.
Their performance was underwhelming, but they were used for training through mid 1916.<ref name=Nowarra92>Nowarra, p.92.</ref>
