Description
The Caudron G3 first appeared in France in May 1914 but saw no British military service before World War One began. During the early months of war the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service had to find replacement aircraft wherever they could be found. They naturally turned to the native French aircraft industry to supplement the inadequate supplies of aircraft from Great Britain.
The G3 was one of several French designs adopted by both British flying services.

This looks really fantastic. I love aircrafts like this.
So pretty! Like a little insect made huge.
How guiless the the fixing of fabric to machined steel, then chasing down the sound of the guns.
Stunning capture Clive. God Bless.
I love this Clive, perfect shot.
Very cool aircraft
Beautifully composed. I'm really enjoying the series Clive, and can tell you have put in the effort on the selective saturation.
Great shot - really like the symmetry & postwork...
Not sure I'd like to fly this one, but a great aircraft to shot.. AND you've chosen the best view, my fave! lol Well shot! Rob
Superb!!!! 5+!!!
A pram with wings perhaps? Fighting a war with box-kites... cripes. Amazing how things have changed.
Perfect angle, and a terrific shot. Light, subject, pov ... all great!
