This heavy bomber of No 214 Sqn, based at Saint-Inglevert, was damaged by German fire and landed on the beach 'between Valkenisse and the Koudekerke beacon' in the early hours of 1 July 1918. It was the largest aircraft to be interned by the Dutch during WWI and given serial HP-703, but was not repaired and thus not flown. It was returned to the RAF in March 1920.

Photo taken during the first flight from Egypt to India. It appears to be in what is now Pakistan, probably Karachi, although the flight continued on to Kolkata. It had been intended for an O/400 to fly from the UK to India but the initial aircraft went u/s at Heliopolis. It was then planned to fly on to Australia - the pilot was Australian Ross Smith - in 1919. However, while Smith headed off to survey a route, C9700 was commandeered by the military in India to bomb Kabul. It was wrecked in a wind storm at Risalpur before Smith returned.

This Handley Page O/400 heavy bomber, ex J2252, was fitted with ten passenger seats without windows in 1919 and flown to Norway via Holland and Denmark. It drew large crowds and over 100 people made a flight during demonstrations at Kjeller army airfield. Note the irregular lettering and the roundel shining through the civilian paint.
