Re: Photo Sopwith

This is a tricky one. Reason is that two squadrons using basically the same markings were in action at the same time, No 43 and No 70 Sq.
The loss must have been before 15 June 1917 (date on the flip side)
On June 3rd 1917 No 70 Sq lost A1012 marked A-3 when on a photo-recce mission near Menin. From the report the aircraft was seen to turn over. The crew was reported as KIA.
Was it possible to photograph the aircraft and make a postcard and send that one off in 12 days? If yes, I would say we have a match.
