Many thanks indeed Kev, that is extremely helpful. The additional info about the aircraft type is similarly appreciated. I knew from a visit to Kew yesterday that he was flying in an FE2e when he was wounded, but was not aware of the other variations of the type.

Now all I have to do is work out why he was at Brooklands in August and Sept 1917 when he should have been at Spitalgate, but that’s my problem. (Advice from another source had placed him with 83 Sqn on 11.4.1917.)

Regards
Brian
