It is still out there! Was in a barn until this week.
The pilot saw active service in France 1918. Not had time to read the Log book properly yet
Going to have to fetch the propeller that is with it....
Cheers, Ade.

Awesome! In a barn!
Add the propeller to that group will make that a very sought after addition!!
Would love to see the Prop when it arrives if possible?

Wonderful find. Let's hope the propeller is from a WW1 aircraft.
Actually I would love to see a close up of the plane sketch.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

The vendor gave me a sketch of the markings. Certainly WW1 with eight bolts holes and for a 150HP Hispano Suiza engine.
I will add pics one I get it.
Very pleased with this group. Had a quick read of the log book last night. Forced landings, firing 200 rounds from the Lewis gun etc! Seems even though he was a Pilot he flew a lot of missions as an Observer.
Cheers, Ade.

Ahh Ade I hope it's for your collection?
Sadly not, going under the hammer at work in March.
But I have enjoyed having it on my desk for a few weeks..
Cheers, Ade.
