Happy revolution day for everyone
Yes indeed Happy Veinticinco de Mayo (for yesterday), CB.
Nice clips, the Onree Farman HF.20 was available in numbers in the first year or two of the war, but was obsolescent by mid 1915; during the Dardanelles campaign the commander of 3 Sqn RNAS, Charles Samson described them as "useless", preferring the steel tube Farman F.27 with its more powerful Canton Unne radial.
Just a wee note about the clip aboard HMS Argus, Bell-Davies was only the fourth aerial VC recipient, carrying out the first aerial combat rescue of Lt Smyllie, who was forced down over enemy lines late in the Dardanelles campaign (again), whilst under fire.
can anyone indentify this old string birds.
Charles, I think they're Farman F.20s....
(EDIT : Sorry, didn't realise there was a Page 2 and Numann had answered this a while ago.)

Nice clip CB. Happy Veinte de Junio, by the way, I hope you're enjoying the long weekend...
Hi CB, An Albatros D V, you can tell by the Vee struts and if they have a wee detuning strut attached to the forward strut of the V down to the lower wing, it's a D Va.
