Built in 1918 by Nieuport and General Aircraft Limited of England. Details of its RAF history remain unknown, although it probably served abroad, as did most RAF Snipes. Ex-Royal Flying Corps pilot and actor Reginald Denny imported the aircraft to California in 1926, and it was featured in several movies. Purchased by the Museum in 1964. Last flown in June 1967 during Centennial celebrations at Rockcliffe This photo is copyright © WalAndPl, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
