Re: Photos Airco
Never seen anything like that before Clint
Making some guesses here, I would prefer if the aircraft was D5808. The inserted W.2. might have something to do with the base, Westland Ho! Best guess I can come up with there is the similarity between the pronounciation between Ho and Two. Perhaps some local joke? Checking the base, it was a very short lived one where 260Sq had just been formed in August 1918 out of 502 (SD) and 503 (SD) Flights. When formed its DH-6s were supplemented with some DH-9. The base itself seems to have been abandoned after 19 Feb 1919 since no other units are listed post that date. It is unfortunate that nothing is known with regard to the aircraft itself. Anyone else with a better solution? Cheers Stig |
