Re: Photo Bristol Aircraft
Hi Nick
Yes, 72 Squadron operated 13 M.1C in all, probably all with C-flight.
The first two, C4914 and C4915, are known to have been assigned already in Jan 1918 to the unit. Exactly how many there were when the unit was officially resurrected in Basra on 2 March 1918, is not listed in my sources.
There is a nice book published by Cross & Cockade called 'Wings over Mesopotamia' which I found very good covering the period 1914-1919.
Pity the photo is not better. I liked the Bristol Bullet.
Cheers
Stig
