Breguet & Barry - any idea which unit these would have been serving with when the photo was taken? I'll hazard a guess at 215 Sqn, but I'm really no expert.

Probably showing my ignorance but the nacelles look like 0/100's to me.

Here's a picture of the 'Wings of Glory' model which they refer to as an RNAS [I love the fact that they were referred to as "Rather Naughty After Sunset'] version.
