Re: Photos Royal Aircraft Factory Aircraft
Clint not to be too finicky but technically on Jan.2 it would be No.1 (Aux) School of Aerial Gunnery re-designated from the School of Aerial Gunnery (Dymchurch) the previous day; both this and Hythe were on the Kent coast ( appropriate that "Hythe" in Old English means "landing place").
The US Signal Corps / USAS also had tugs in WW1, mostly JN-4HGs "G" for gunnery as distinct from other trainers; stations included Arcadia FL and Fort Worth TX and the Navy had a few JN-6HGs same use. Nick |

Re: Photos Royal Aircraft Factory Aircraft
Hello,

Re: Photos Royal Aircraft Factory Aircraft
Hi Clint. these 2 serials seem to have travelled; same block (C3381--C3480) and same contracts but cancelled from Sopwith Strutter to HP.0/400 finally to R.E.8, at No.2 (Northern) ARD Sheffield as training aeroplanes with enlarged fins.
This Depot had their own serial blocks allocated for re-builds etc. Regards Nick |
