Great Picture. Where was that a painting of? In 1916 I would have thought the English beaches would have been closed to holiday makers.

I've been collecting these pics for ages just by surfing around the various simming sites, WWI aviation sites and such

Not sure where, but got this one from the Aerodrome site... believed it was 1916, with RNAS Avro floatplane trainer.

If anyone has good knowledge of RNAS training bases they might be able to work out where it might be.

It's near RNAS Capel at Folkestone.   That rising headland and waterfront pavilion are the giveaway.

Just ran across this 1910 postcard of the beach at Folkestone from almost the exact same perspective.
