OK, time to wrap this up.
Marlowe refers to this machine as the Graham-White "Nacelle" Pusher. On Page 258 Bruce refers to these machines and what is and isn't known about them. He then says:
Quote:

"Unfortunately it is not possible to isolate the history of this Grahame-White pusher plane, for surviving records do not identify it specifically."

Despite this 'lack of surviving records' Bruce obviously has some record of it or why mention it? Also Bruce is talking here of the RFC. As to the RNAS Sturtivant - Royal Navy aircraft serials and units 1911-1919 isn't complete either as I found out when going through the log books of both Dallas and Little aircraft used in training seemed a very interesting hodge-podge. The aircraft Dallas soloed on was identified only by its old racing number (109) and wasn't apparently never allocated an RNAS serial.
So this is the decision:
As Flamingo was the first to mention both Farman
and Grahame-White I'll award the point and next challenge to him. To Rufe I'll give .5 for being the first to present a piece together of the jigsaw.
Scoreboard at the end of Challenge #600 Graham-White "Nacelle" Pusher or HF 27.
