  LOC: note typo in transcription of airship name "Parseval"
  In this copy, Bain has redacted the source info, May & Co.'s postcard 300.
  The unredacted photo is reproduced by Flickr user DesertBlooms here:

  Part of postcard series elsewhere in Bain Collection of pre WWI British airplanes and airships.
  
  
  
  
  And here's some motion picture footage:

  Parseval was the name of the designer, and there were 22 such ships built. This one could be the PL-18 No. 4

  The biplane at front right, No. 235 is identified as a BE.2a here: www.ukserials.com/serials-older-000.htm It is a Royal Aircraft Factory (Blériot Experimental) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Aircraft_Factory_B.E.2

• Kristi (LOC P&P) said:

  artolog, Thank you very much for such in depth digging about the airship and the accompanying plane - and for providing great citations. We'll add more identifying information when we update this record.

  This appears to be a Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Aircraft_Factory_R.E.8 See correct identification below.

  Thank you!

  Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2e. One possibility is A2968 built by British and Colonial (Bristol).

• TVL1970 said:

  yavor.dinkov Thank you for the correction. This one was a real head scratcher for me.

• Provincial Archives of Alberta said:

  Thanks for the help! Those planes do appear very similar.
