Athol photos - 30 October 1916 - aeroplane 4155

Athol appears to have taken these photos at Sherika whilst attached to 'A' Flight. They are the usual size, 68mm x 43mm, quite faded and not at all clear. I have grouped them together as I think they all record the same event.

I believe this is a B.E.2c type aircraft. The B.E.2c came into the AFC in July 1916 and was originally part of 16 Sqn, RFC (see more at: http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/afc4.htm). In the ADF-Gallery list this plane, 4155, is noted as a B.E.2c aircraft.
