Bleriot XI-2 3231 at RNAS Scarborough aerodrome.

National Archives file "AIR1/195/15/226/12" states on 17th July 1915 that this Bleriot aeroplane, "although not in any way damaged, has been subjected to very heavy weather whilst pegged down in the open and, owing to the immediate lack of facilities at present, will certainly require attention before being flown." It was later noted as still being unservicable two days later but was not actually flown until 26th July 1915.

Back to yearly selection.
