On display in the Grahame-White Factory at RAF Museum Hendon. This S.E.5a was built by Wolseley in Birmingham and delivered to the RAF in 1918. It may have reached the Western Front during the war as it was serving with No. 84 Sqn. in 1919 in Germany. After the Great War it was one of the S.E.5s bought and refitted by Maj. JC Savage, the British pioneer of skywriting based at Hendon. It went into storage before WW2. After that war it was gradually restored, then displayed at RAFM Hendon in Jan. 1972.
