Hello chaps,
we’re trying to update the catalogue entry for this Aerofilms image. It’s listed as a Bristol fighter which it clearly isn’t. The reg appears to be G-EBOS or EBDS, which according to the Golden Years Regester makes it an SE 5 or a DH 60, which again it isn’t. Any ideas?

I’ll go along with that, looks like problem solved

A bit of photoshopping shows the last three letters under the port wing, with the last being an S, with a B first and either a D or O between them…

Tried that, got the same conclusion. looking at the few Bristiol 89a images I can find, the rear end looks very similar. We just need to find one with an intact front end to check the strut layout to confirm. thanks chaps, this is fun.

Quite a lot of differences round the tail as well, but I’m learning a lot! Keep ’em coming.
