    A French, Farman MF.11

    Thanks a lot. Do you know if night operations like this were common?
  • AirphixTwin said:
    Can't really comment on the use of the Farman, but this webpage gives a good account of night ops during WW1: www.century-of-flight.net/Aviation%20history/airplane%20a... I've also come across this image on another web page and it refers to the location as Le Bourget, which would also seem to be a period caption. Although the page also states the aircraft is an F.40, and I'd personally say the nacelle shape is wrong for that mark. www.avialogs.com/index.php/photo-of-the-day/farman-f-40-a...

    Definitely a Maurice Farman Shorthorn or MF.11, definitely not a F.40. In France, going by the Kepi type hats on the men. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farman_MF.11 www.airforce.gov.au/raafmuseum/exhibitions/training_hang/... Night bombing operations were normal in W.W.I, one way on fine nights to minimise the chance of fighter interception. That is more likely than the also possible (going-solo) training flight, simply because there is one crewmember rather than two. Solo flight allowed more fuel or bombs to be carried.

    Great observation. Thanks for the additional information!
