Guest Diccon Posted 31 July , 2005 Share Posted 31 July , 2005 Yes it's a Camel, the cowling looks like a BR1 engine which would fit with it being a RNAS machine.

Dolphin Posted 31 July , 2005 Share Posted 31 July , 2005 Some of the men in front of the Camel are wearing Army/RFC uniforms. Seeing them presumably in the same unit as the men in RNAS uniforms dates the photo as after the fortmation of the RAF on 1 April 1918.
