Now that's thinking out of the box! But no lighter than air machine here - in fact it is not even British!

Oops Wrong caption on that one. Colin was of course right! Maybe he should get an extra point for causing him to scratch his head! tell you what we'll bring him up to and even 2.5 (Sort of a degree of difficulty mark )

Circumstances

Well, another NEw Jersey boy bites the dust - or at least gets a good sniff...

Frank T. Lloyd, product of Camden, New Jersey, Princeton University 1917, School of Militaary aeronautics at Cornell, primary flight training at Selfridge Field, Michigan, advanced at 3rd AIC. Later assigned to an unknown duty near Orly - some suggest N.471, but I have no confirmation of that by the summer of 1918.

On 21 July, Lloyd was flying Sopwith Camel E'5158. The airplane had recently been delivered from England and had been trucked to Orly for "repair" on 7 July. Perhpas the photos are from a test flight.

Lloyd obviously crashed the airplane quite completely and put himself in hospital for the remainder of the war. In the post war, he was assigned to the 103rd Aero along with Larry Cauffmann who photographed the crash at Orly.

Here's another view from an angle that's a little easier to ID.

Camel

The two holes in the top decking behind the cockpit are dead give aways for a Sopwith.
