Collishaw used 3 Triplanes named "Black Maria". The first was N5490, from 26/4/17 to it's loss on 8/6/17. The second was N5492, which he assumed on the loss of 5490, and used until the arrival from the depot at Dunkirk of the two-gunned N533 on 21/7/17. He claimed two with this machine on 27/7/17, his last patrols with Naval Ten; he was posted to home leave a few days later. With thanks and a tip of the hat to Mike Westrop and his wonderful "A History of No.10 Squadron Royal Naval Air Service", and Collishaw's own "Air Command".
cheers,
