Probable variant of Caudron G.3.

This site identifies a plane as the G.2 that I think is this one: eric.bailly2.free.fr/spip.php?article48 Also, this page on the serial numbers of British airplanes says No. 311 was a G2 www.ukserials.com/serials-older-000.htm

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

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.
