According to my Royal Navy Aircraft Serials and Units, Sturtivant & Page - Air Britain 1992
3124 was a Handley Page O/100.
Arrived in Mudros and joined 2 Wing 8 June 1917.
It was used to bomb the Goeben in Stenia Bay 00:15 10 July 1917 and claimed a hit (the ship was undamaged).
Savory's bar to the DSO is mentioned and F/L H Maclelland and Lt P T Rawlings were awarded DSCs as well.
It was eventually hit by AA and ditched in the Gulf of Xeros near Suvla Bay 30 September 1917. F/L J W Alcock, FSL H R Aird, WO2(F) S J Wise swam ashore and POW. (Alcock of North Atlantic crossing fame?).
