Could a pal look up in a Royal Air Force Aircraft book by An Air-Britain publication of all the info on plane number N9859 please. Type, stationed, if crashed, when ordered, anything.

Many thanks

I don't have the book you refer to, but I do know that N9859 was a Fairey Flycatcher ordered in August 1924 in the batch of serials N9854-N9895.

I hope this helps.
