Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of a Short School Biplane serial either 401 or 402 at:

The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.4 can be partially seen in the background.

Tag does not work for me.
All I get is a general google spot and no obvious connection to your photo.

Cheers

Hi Stig,


Thanks, same as a previous occasion, I neglected to copy the initial h of the address. Should be good now. I hope it was worth the wait

Sorry Clint

I see the problem, missed out the 'h' in the http....
Looks like the Avro 500 RFC number 404-406. Don't know which one it is

Cheers

Hi Stig,


So its definitely worth me retitling this thread? I'll do so anyway.


And even worse, now I know what it is, I see that this photo has been previously published.

"TA" is the current doping scheme, British Aeroplane Varnish Co. 'TITANINE A'. Later marked on the rudder stripe.

"RA" was Royal Aircraft Factory A. "CA" was Cellon Ltd. A. "EA" was British Emaillite A.
The device is a Type "C" aerial camera, must have slowed the aeroplane down somewhat.
