WW1 Series - RE8

Intelligence gathering was paramount in WW1 and from the earliest days the fledgling air forces were tasked to keep tabs on enemy formations and changes in their fortifications. The RE8 was designed as a specialist recce and bomber aircraft, supposedly stable and easy to fly to allow the crew to concentrate on photography and mapping updates. Equipped with a rudimentary radio set operated by the pilot with a Morse key, recce updates could be sent in near real time - a huge advance for the day. Image shows an escorted sortie over German lines with the observer/gunner kneeling on his stool to check ground details. My thanks to Alex Kew for the RE8 pics (from Duxford) much appreciated as this image has a special meaning for me - my father served as armourer/gunner in France on RE8s in 1917-18.

Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight
