      It took a brave person to land that thing on the sea.

      I wonder where this is? I'm assuming on the Solent somewhere.

      Hard to tell, there's no real landmark visible. Great picture though. Lots of wood and canvas.

      Kind of resembles those my dad flew a couple of decades later; I can offer no expertise. . . .

      the aircraft is a Royal Aircraft Factory HRE2, I'm fairly sure. And so this would probably be Fleet Pond in Hampshire.

      Between that article and this site, which uses this same picture for its entry on the HRE2, I think you got it.

      Thanks Dru Marland and artolog, it does look like an HRE2. We will add that to the record.
