In 1916 I would have thought the English beaches would have been closed to holiday makers. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 21, 2021 . It's near RNAS Capel at Folkestone. That rising headland and waterfront pavilion are the giveaway. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
