Photograph shows the R.E.8 A3807 in considerable disarray in Palestine. Designed by the Royal Aircraft Factory and known as the “Harry Tate” the type became the most widely used corps-reconnaissance type with the RFC and RAF from 1916 onwards.

The D.F.W. Aviatik C-V 4482/18 is seen in Palestine, presumably in British or Australian hands. This two-seat reconnaissance aircraft was normally armed with one fixed synchronised Spandau machine-gun for the pilot and one Parabellum machine gun for the observer.

The Bristol F.2B B1148, seen in the foreground, was on charge with No 1 Sqn, Australian Flying Corps. It has been reported that this aircraft bore the presentation inscription, “Australia No 3, New South Wales No 2, The White Edenglassie.”
