Now this is just a guess, but maybe the plane diverted to Poland after a bombing mission and landed there?

Cease fire! Cease fire! I'm not from Kedzierzyn-Kozle. Blechhammer is actually Blachownia, today a district of Kedzierzyn but in 1944 it was a village close to KK. It is about 50km from my village.

Well, I think JP has hit the target, maybe not in the 617th Sqn style but close enough for the carpet-bombing...

Yes, I was born on 7th but not July.

Ok. Personal one for me too.

Where is this airfield? The picture is taken around 1918/19.

Doni-B. Indeed is it. Did you notice the Forth Rail Brig in the top right?

My work is in the collection of buildings on bottom left.

Doni-B turned turned Dalgety Bay into a massive aircraft repair yard during WW2.

The whole of this part of Fife was an armed camp, Navy, FAA, and RAF.

I did - it was shamefully straightforward after that. It does look rather as though it's all gone to pot a little since those heady days ...

Anyway.

What type of flap was used only by the company that invented it?

Heh...another answer found in Google. More luck than knowledge

Ok, what is the comapny name related to these few words: Daily Mail race, Curtiss, RNAS contracts, bankruptcy?

What's wrong? Too difficult? The question is not clear enough? Do you need some hint? (it's not related to Poland by any means )

OK, another clue: the company existed only for few years and produced mostly pushers. It was first a partnership but later one of the partners had withdrawn his share.

À wild guess Deperdussin went bankrupt before WW1 and was resurrected as SPAD

Wrong way, don't cross the Channel

I think you shall sort out what the Daily Mail had to do with aviation in 1913. This will be abother clue.

Felixstowe? I remembered this morning that they were licence built by Curtiss, were used by the RNAS and the other two are equally as probable.
I would lurv a 1/32 F.2...

Very good direction Warren although not Felixtowe. F.2's were big boats, difficult to handle for the unexperienced pilots so they possibly needed something smaller to train on
