On July 15, 1918 the Italian ace Alessandro Buzio was taxying on the Casoni airfield when a British plane, that was taking off, collided with his Hanriot. Buzio was unhurt bad his fighter was badly damaged.
Does anyone know the type of British aircraft, its serial and its crew?

Goode, B5623 Lt. A.E. Baker They departed San Pietro in Gu at 0630 for Casioni. On arrival at Casioni they were met by RE8's B2616 (wrong serial number ) Lt. A.F. Wilson, and A/M 1 Haley, B2289 Lt.

Lt. Harry King Goode left an extensive diary that has been featured in "Cross & Cockade". It may mention the incident if that's any use to you, Paolo.

As the author of the piece in C&CI on Harry Goode, I am sorry to say that he did not leave a diary, I wish he had as the research undertaken might have been a bit easier. I did manage to find his photographs from the war and these very poor quality images were used in the article.

John, nothing in the article seemed incomplete - it was very interesting - a tribute to your research then!
