Dart,

The Snipe was the replacement for the Camel. It was powered by a Bentley BR2 engine of 230hp. The most powerful engine fitted to the Camel was a Clerget 9H of 185hp. Most of the ~5600 F.1 Camels were powered by Clerget motors of 130-140hp.

For those that want some pilot notes on flying the Camel get Chaz Bowyer's Sopwith Camel - The King of Combat.

It was a Snipe that Barker was flying when he had his famous combat that earned him his VC.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.
