Re: Photo Nieuport

Well known photo Clint

Personally I think it was an official photo taken at Beardmore around July -
August 1916. It was one of two small batches transferred to RFC from the RNAS.
All of them went No 46 Sq in the end.

Presumably (with all the background retouched away) it was taken to circulate among RFC personal for ID purposes.

Cheers
Stig
