Unfortunately the first one shows a serial but it is difficult to read.

Hi Stig,


Far from impossible I would imagine. Do you think you recognise some of the numerals in the photo where the machine is at an angle?

Unfortunately not

Someone has put their "laserbeam" right where it hurts the most....

Some very interesting shots there Clint

The date 1 May 1919 indicates it was the first conversion made and since no US Navy BuNo is
visible also indicate they were painted on the aircraft post conversion.
The four blade prop is interesting as well. Not seen that before.
Venturing a guess I would say that one was A5620

The photo dated 27 June 1919 looks like A5626 to me. What do you think?

The aircraft equipped with flotation gear was A5629.

But what is the aircraft which is not a Hanriot (photo date 13 Sep 1923)? Have I seen that before??

Cheers
