Hi Joe;
Here are two photos copied from originals in a private album. I don't know if you already have them, as they may have found their way into publications, over the years. In the first, it is interesting to see how large the cut-out for the top wing Lewis gun is.. and the second shows another oddity of the float gear collapsing toward the front. You would think that a sticky landing would collapse them toward the rear. Probably just a very hard landing. The first one is a Blackburn-built Baby on the Isle of Grain. The second is labelled, "Sopwith Baby,collapsed chassis, Dundee /16"
