WW1 Mystery Solved (3 of 3)

The three accounts of cooincidence I have entered here for WW1 ( as well as another under 'Old Friend' all happened within a period of two weeks, just before Christmas 2011. I was given a kit for a WW1 aircraft in July and it had taken me almost five months to complete. I wanted to paint it in the colours of 6 Squadron and have a serial number that was valid for the sqquadron. In the kit were provided transfers for three specific aircraft (single letter prefix followed by four numbers), none of which were for 6 squadron. I went through the squadron records and tried to find a valid serial number that could be made up from the transfers supplied, with minimal cutting of the numbers, as trying to stick single transfers close together is almost impossible. Eventually I found three numbers that I could make and chose one at random. The day after I had taken a series of 'flying' photographs of the model (for my website) I received a call from the wife of the grandson of one of the 6 squadron pilots during WW1. Could I give her details of her husband's grandfather (which I could) and could I show her what sort of aircraft he flew. For those who don't know, there are almost no photographs of 6 squadron aircraft surviving - one of the main reasons I made the model in the first place. I checked the operational records of the squadron and, you guessed it, the serial number of the aircraft I had made and photographed was the very same aircraft flown by her husband's grandfather and I was able to send her a realistic photograph of his machine.
