RE8/Snipe/Albatros – questions…

Sorry chaps did try and hunt through old threads – just a couple of questions…

As I understand it RAFM have swapped their Hanriot and Farman nacelle for these three aeroplanes…..

Was the Hanriot ever used by RFC/RAF? Isnt it part new build anyway? The Farman was only a cockpit shell I believe…..?

If thats right are they planning to fly them at OW prior to delivery to RAFM?

The swap seems like a rather good one from my POV and if RAFM are letting them have one last hurrah at OW in the air then thats a brilliant idea and hats off to them…

TT
