I failed to include a photo of the SE.5A in its new 84 Sqn markings. This aircraft has recently been confirmed as having shot down a Fokker D.VII in 1918, flown by the CO, Major CEM Pickthorn MC.

Nice pictures, David!
Can’t help thinking the combination of a largely fabric-covered Anson, a flexible towing bridle, and a spark-emitting steam tractor, are pushing the boundaries a little.
Some would say it’s being adventurous others would call it foolhardy.

Excellent shots! I particularly like the Mystery Ship against the trees. Too bad the sky wasn’t terribly photogenic that day.

Great shots. Nice to see some sunshine at OW! It looks that you need to be a brave pilot to fly the Fauvel.

Fantastic shots, I really have to see that Mystery Ship at some point.

And I thought the EoN looked scary in the air! The Fauvel tops it, though. Wouldn’t get me up in one…
I love the lass in the rear seat of the Messenger, grinning like an eejit. I suspect that’s someone whose day was being made!

(must get over to OW this year…)

Any chance of copies of the Messenger pics you took David ?
