I've only known the Camel's to be powered by the Clerget engines.
Thanks for the info!
It is possible one of those men in the shot is my Grandfather, though I cant recognize him. He was in Beersheba at that date. Along with several thousand other Light Horsemen. If these men can be identified as members of the 7th mounted regiment, my interest will go up considerably
Best way to show his units is to post the details of one of his service medals. Pte AW Glenn, service number 158, posted to the 7th LH regtParsifal,
Was your grandfather in the same regiment that was portrayed in the movie The Lighthorsemen?
I love that movie. One of my favourites.

I think I might........Try posting the image with your question under the "War in the Air" sub-forum of the Great War Forum (just Google "Great War Forum" and you'll find the link). There are some very knowledgeable chaps and chappesses on that site who may be able to offer more info than you ever thought possible.
