Athol photos - flying in the desert

These two photos appear to have been taken by Athol  whilst he was serving with 'A' Flight, AFC, at Sherika.  Each photo is the usual size, 80mm x 60mm, and there are no notations on the reverse.

Taking off in the desert.

The first two digits on the tail read "41..'" so maybe it is the same aircraft in the post dated

30 October. That was aircraft 4155 a BE2c.

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.

The notes on the reverse read:

'30.10.16'

The notes on the reverse read:

'4155 crashed Sherika 30.10.16'

The notes on the reverse read:

'Ellis getting out of 4155 30.10.16'

The notes on the reverse read: 

'4155      30.10.16'

The notes on the reverse read:

'4155 burrowing  Sherika  30.10.16'

The notes on the reverse read:

'Casely Kilburn Andrews Soames    4155 Crew'
