Re: Photos Royal Aircraft Factory Aircraft
Clint
I have never really tried to see any difference between the various BE.2 sub-versions. So if you are a 100% certain this is a BE.2c then 2741 it is! However there was also a No 2 Sq BE.2d 5741 which went missing 9 Aug 1916. As far as my own skills go, that could also be a contender.... Cheers Stig

Re: Photos Royal Aircraft Factory Aircraft
Hello Stig,
As ever wouldn't a date on the photo be nice  Having said that the easiest way to differentiate between a B.E.2c and a B.E.2d externally is said to be in the size of the much larger underwing gravity fuel tank, which checking my copy of J.M. Bruce The Aeroplanes of the Royal Flying Corps does appear to be the case. Therefore, I feel reasonably confident the plane in the photo is a B.E.2c. Regards, Clint
