No information is available about this photograph. (Note: The Fleet Air Arm Museum suggests (not identifies) the picture as taken at Leuchars, sometime between May and November 1924; they think the aircraft is a Fairey 111D of 441 Flight and although they cannot read the cap ribbons, they think that the word shapes could be HMS Hermes.) |
