Unfortunately this photo has been squashed sideways making the aircraft impossible to ID. Horsleys, Wallace or Hinds. (This would give a date). I wonder if these old wooden huts were in fact from when Hucknall was 15 TDS in 1918. Those hangars certainly were.
I think it’s one of the Vickers family, the Venture, similar to the Vixen II. I think the photo was taken at Martlesham. and the generator prop I think has a governor fitted.
Your first photograph in post 10, is a Fairey 111.F and the second an Atlas. On the Fairey photo note the projections on the tailplane, these engage with the notches in the outer wing struts for the folding wings. Done by operating the tailplane trim.
Bristol did not produce any operational seaplanes during the Great War. The only Bristol aeroplanes operating on the Italian front would be Bristol F.2.B Fighter landplanes. They might have been Sopwith Babys (Ansaldo also built these) or Short 184’s.
