  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.

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

  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.
