Gee whiz! Found the National Library of Scotland via the feature on my log in page on Flickr--featured on the Flickr blog! My grandfather was an American military photographer during World War II. I think I have no more words to share now.

Guilty of wrecklessly endangering a cute puppy. The poor critter doesn't even have a safety belt, and when that machine gun goes off it is enough to freak any dog.

It looks a posed image indeed, cute as it is. The machinegun (I believe a Lewis Gun adapted for aerial use) does not appear to have its characteristic 'pancake' magazine in place. The 'swivel' attachment was called a "Scarfe Ring", and I guess this is also an RE8 observation aircraft rather than a fighter. The observer doubles as a gunner for protection, but they were slow and vulnerable. The RE8 was knick-named the "Hary Tate" after a musichall star of those days.

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.
