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.
