Greetings, Just a line to offer a fragment of information, I had been seeking a family relative who we knew was sent to Russia in 1916. Through the help of these web sites I was guided to the Royal Navy, then the Navy Flying Service, finally to be able to access his service records when he joined up, (Volunteers called for with mechanical/vehicle experience) with immediate rank of sergeant, and sent to Russia to become an 'Armoured Car' group! No flying or servicing apparant. The trail then goes cold. (Russian revolution and its agonies, it would seem that the armoured cars ran down to middle east location.)
