H.P. O/400 C9715 at Cricklewood in 1918. This aircraft was demonstrated to Canadian journalists at Hendon in August that year.
Handley Page O/400 served with No.58 Training Depot Station, Cranwell. Note the odd habit of putting the serial number not only on the rudders but, almost hidden, on the rear fuselage as well.

This Amiot 143 is believed to be the one that visited Hendon and other places in the UK in connection with experiments in the use of television as a battlefield aid. Details of this liaison seem to be few and far between. Any experts out there?

Photographed on a misty day at Filton in 1952 is Breda-Zappata BZ.308 SM-5. Presumably it had some connection with its Centaurus engines. Oddly, it tends to become the Breda Zappata, BZ308, in recent years; not an RAF serial!
