  I know these pictures in sepia. Were coloured a posteriori?
  BTW, Hurley was an impressive photographer.

  Looks like an R.E.8 or the similar B.E.2/B.E.12. The R.E.8 was known by the Cockney Rhyming expression 'Harry Tate' after a popular music hall performer of the time.

  Judging from the splintered prop this is the result of a heavy landing.

  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.

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

  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.
