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.

Harry - 25th Sqn Air Mechanic's of the Royal Flying Corp
Harry is from the 25th Sqn "Hawkings" Air Mechanics of the Royal Flying Corps, who turns out to be another relative of mine. Harry worked for the 25th Sqn repairing war battered aircraft including Snipes, DH.4's and the impressive Handley Page. Thanks to a family member we have around 20 photos of him from the Great War.
