very interesting. thanks for sharing!
Lost this link, nice watching it all over again, cheers for posting.
See you on the Dark Side......
Great giant footage. Thanks!
It was interesting to see that they rolled it out of the hanger sideways.
Yeah, seems odd at first, but it means the hangar doors (and the unsupported span above them....) only need to be 80 feet wide instead of 140 - makes the hangars a hell of a lot easier to build....
Can it be a postwar video?
There are no guns and it seemed to be used as a passengeraircraft.

Yes - for some reason it's often identified as an R.VI but as you can see from the nose propeller, it's actually an R.XIV, and that particular one (71/18) wasn't completed until the end of the war. It had a brief passenger career, but sadly can be seen here after a charter flight for the Ukrainian government in August 1919.
