Name that Flying Machine
Thats the question - do we have to ID the pigeon or the aircraft?

is good for ID-ing the pigeons - the aircraft is a little more difficult
Is it a Vickers Virginal mk 1

I heard they modernised shortly afterwards and made the pigeons out of clay, I have to admit a machine gun is a bit OTT and not very sporting.
Ahh _ he's at the BACK! I thought he was in a fighting top........................

Well done Mel! I was familiar with the Stranraer because of the lovely example at Hendon but not heard of the London!
I'll stick this one up, never heard of it before!
