    I Think it is called a Billhook and it is used for hedging on the farm
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Mick Huett Thank you! It certainly looks like a Billhook if these images are anything to go by...
  • Brian Mulligan said:
    They could easily be father and son, check the eyes and mouth similarities. A nice photograph especially considering when it was taken!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Brian Mulligan Perhaps you're right - they could well be father and son...
  • Sole & Luna said:
    Really nice photo!

    Currently on display at Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa following major restoration. This was a French Le Rhone powered example donated by the French government to the Canadian Dominion archivist and was used (along with a French 75 cannon and an extensive collection of war posters) for war bond fundraising across Canada and the US until the Influenza epidemic hit, when it was put in storage where it remained until the 1960s, when the Air Force "restored" it. Since they knew nothing of its history they assumed it must have been a British Beardmore built example and proceeded to butcher the airframe, modifying the ailerons to remove washout, creating a new fin and rudder and changing the engine to a Clerget (which their references said was the only engine that was supposed to have been used), and adding a Scarf gun ring. The restoration returned it to its original appearance (aluminium doped overall and in French markings), and even re-united it with the original engine it had when it arrived in Canada.
