Aside from the air cooled Vickers machine guns fitted to aircraft in the First World War (with holes cut into the water jacket), were any Vickers fitted to aircraft but 1) water cooled or 2) with no modication to the water jacket?

It would appear that some limited use was made of the Vickers as a free gun, without modification, in the early days of WW1 until the Lewis came into widespread use by mid 1915. (Harry Woodman Early A/c Armament).
