Thanks Joe for the Nieuport page link - really good historical site.

BTW - If anyone has a good colour scheme - please let me know! I need something to pin up on my workshop wall to keep the goal in focus.

Apparently there was a British Nieuport unit in the middle-east (near Cairo) where the first Australian Flying Corps unit trained before deploying on combat operations. Does anyone have any history of this unit? Apparently the Australians made quite a name for themselves 'beating up' senior officers, the race course, boats, etc in their planes. They also used to compete with each other to tip over the local Egyptian boats with the prop-wash from their Nieuports!
