Thanks for the confirmation Nick. I just wasn't quite sure if that is a small 'A' visible before the serial - or not. Sturtivant certainly does detail Avro 504C '8599' but curiously does not give any indication of any incident at Dover.

Just seen this series of posts and I can confirm that the aircraft in the original photo is a B.E.2c.
No idea as to a serial though. |

The inverted a/c seemingly an Avro 504 (K?) serial (A?)8599.
The second - possibly also a 504 - reminds me of Michael Caine's words in the film The Italian Job - 'now whatever you do, don't move!' Edited by whiskymac - 06 Aug 2016 at 09:57 |

This one is easier to identify even if its the wrong way up! No evidence it was one of Capt White's. :0)

Wonderful photo. Surely a BE of some type?

Not a Bleriot .Spot the four bladed prop and an in-line engine.
No ailerons so could be a BE2 a/b ? the civilians look like they're auditioning for "Cider With Rosie". |
