  • Регистрационный номер: E262

    Here is an R.E.8 - but whose? It is fairly neatly decorated and has lost its gunring. The number '262' on the rudder seems to be all the digits showing but is there an 'E' missing? It also has the serial under the wing but the beginning is not legible.
    One logical reason is that it is an instructor's aircraft at a Training Depot Station. Ideas please.
    The R.E.8 was photographed at No.36 Training Depot Station, Yatesbury, and was taken in 1918 by Lt Henry Goodier of the 5th Battalion, Liverpool Regiment, who served there during the period 19 October 1918 to 3 April 1919. He gained his wings on 6 November 1918. The R.E.8, named 'The Coffin' was E262, built by Siddeley-Deasy Motors. Now that is what we call an answer.

    Ron Backhouse has kindly sent in the photograph of a Dornier Wal in trouble alongside HMS Eagle. Eagle left Devonport on 29 May 1929 after refit and sailed for the Mediterranean on 21 June. On 25 June, the Admiralty signals log shows that Eagle was ordered, on 25 June, to carry out a search in the vicinity of the Azores for a missing Spanish flying boat. On the 28th, the Admiralty received a signal from Eagle saying that the Spanish 'Dornier 16' and crew had been picked up and Eagle would arrive at Gibraltar on 2 June.
