The REP Type-K was pressed into service at the start of WWI for aerial reconnaisance. As with many early-war aircraft it was not really suited for its assigned role, in this case primarily because the wing deprived the pilot of a clear downward view and the type was quicly abandoned for aicraft specifically developed for the role. In a few pictures the reg/serial is given as 58. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
