HC Deb 15 April 1913 vol 51 c1796
15. Major M'CALMONT

asked whether all and, if not, how many of the 101 aeroplanes in the possession of the military wing of the Royal Flying Corps on 19th March last had been flown outside aerodromes and across country since the previous 1st September?

Colonel SEELY

With the exception of two instructional machines at the Central Flying School, all the biplanes of the Royal Flying Corps have been flown across country since 1st September, 1912. None of the monoplanes have been flown since the accidents which occurred in the early part of September. A certain number of them were flown across country between 1st September and that date, but there are no detailed records.
