pete-c Posted 28 November , 2016 Share Posted 28 November , 2016 Could anyone identify the nationality of the Naval types in the attached photo? They look to me Royal Navy but ... If it helps the photo is dated 1922. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 28 November , 2016 Share Posted 28 November , 2016 Hm, can't see any rings or shoulder badges, and the cap badges look too small. Did you get it from here? https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2423398 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete-c Posted 29 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 29 November , 2016 (edited) Negative. Haven't come across this site - looks like someone else is interested in these curious craft apart from me! The only reason I was querying the nationality of the sailors is the fact that these Lambert/Tissandier vessels were actually used by our (British) forces on the Tigris c1917-18 - and they were all named; they were also used by the French, and to a lesser degree the Americans. If the date is correct though this would probably rule out British use because as far as I know these machines were not used after the end of hostilities. These chaps just have the 'look' of Brits to me. The photo was probably taken at the Lambert works on the Seine. Should really have combined my two posts into one!
