Rare 98th Squadron Photo - Royal Flying Corps

Here is a scan which had been hanging on my grandfathers wall showing what I believe to be the 98th Squadron which his father (2/LT Walter Scott Goffe) flew in.

A fantastic photo showing all the squadron, its believed this could have been taken before being deployed to France - or shortly after they arrived.

98th squadron of the Royal Flying Corps

98th Squadron were one of fearless bomber squadrons of the Royal Flying Corps, originally formed from a training squadron they delivered bombing raids on German lines and supplies. My Great Grandfather Lt W Goffe was one of their pilots with his rear gunner/observer Sgt May.

Undated and untitled photo of the 98th squadron of the Royal Flying Corps, I presume taken during the early part of formation. Thanks to RAF Jever http://www.rafjever.org/
