The colour of the machines is not entirely certain.
I consider that they were most likely painted LVA blue.
However on the few photos I've seen, it seems the colour is somewhat darker though.
Some state that they were overall LVA khaki, a colour such as applied on the Fokker D.VII and Fokker C.I was applied. This colour is considerably darker than that of e.g. the Fokker S.IV.

History

The Fairey III, was designed as Fairey N.10 because of an specification of the RNAS in 1917 for carrier aircraft. It was an two seat biplane on floats, equipped with  folding wings and a 260 hp Sunbeam Maori engine. It made its maiden flight in September 1917.

Further test followed with both a float version as a land version.
Soon an order for 50 examples of the Fairey IIIA, a reconnaissance land aircraft and for 60 Fairey IIIB, a float plane with larger span of the upper wing (19,13 m in stead of 14,19 m) and a bomb load of about .
Just 28 examples of the Fairey IIIB were built, the other aircraft of the order were finished as Fairey IIIC, an improved version with the same wingspan as the Fairey IIIA and the more powerful and reliable Rolls Royce Eagle VIII engine, rated 375 hp.

The next version was the Fairey IIID, an improved IIIC, with the possibility to carry a third crew member.
It could be equipped with an undercarriage with floats of with wheels.

First flight of the Fairey IIID equipped with a Rolls Royce Eagle engine was in 1920.
The first examples for the RNAS and Portugal were equipped with a Rolls Royce Eagle, but later this was replaced with the more powerful Napier Lion.

The carrier aircraft were in general three seat floatplanes with fold-able wings.
The aircraft had a wooden fuselage covered with linen and a wooden two blade propeller.
207 Examples were built.

The ultimate most produced version was the Fairey IIIF, which was redesigned to meet the new Air Ministry Specification 19/24 for a three seat reconnaissance aircraft for the Fleet Air Arm and for a two seat aircraft for the Royal Air Force.
The Fairey IIIF made its maiden flight in April 1926.

It had aerodynamic improvements; initially a fuselage and wings of mixed construction. Later also aircraft with a metal fuselage were built. Over 350 examples were built.

Versions.

Fairey IIIA:
Two seat scout.
Fairey IIIB:
Three seat scout/bomber on floats
Fairey IIIC:
Two seat scout/bomber on floats with 375 hp Rolls-Royce Eagle, 36 examples built.

Fairey IIIE:
Designation for three aircraft with a Fairey Ferret radial engine.
Fairey IIIF:

  • Fairey IIIF I: First production version; three seat scout of mixed construction, 55 built.
  • Fairey IIIF II: Idem with a Napier Lion XIA motor, 33 built.
  • Fairey IIIF III: three seat scout with Napier Lion XIA engine, metal fuselage covered with linen. 291 built.
  • Fairey IIIF IV: Two seat aircraft for RAF; built in both metal as mixed construction'; equipped with a Napier Lion XIA engine; 243 built.

In 1925 four aircraft of this type were bought and transferred to Naval Air station De Mok.

In 1926 they were moved to the Netherlands East Indies to be stationed on board of cruisers.

The Fairey IIID was built out of wood and linen and this construction proofed to be rather vulnerable under tropical conditions, so soon  the aircraft were withdrawn from use.

History

The Farman factory was founded at about 1908. The two brothers Henry and Maurice Farman showed three aircraft, designed by Henry Farman, at several air shows in August 1919.
In 1914 the factory employed about 600 employees.
Due to personal problems both brothers had their own, strictly segregated design bureaus.

The aircraft, designed before World war I by Henry Farman, showed a great resemblance.
All types were of the pusher type with a rotating engine,  a wingspan of the lower wing being half of the wingspan of the upper wing, a open fuselage for the crew and two tail booms..
Main differences were wingspan an engine type.

The Farman F.40 was the first  type both brothers designed together and was released in 1915.  It was a pusher type biplane with a Renault engine rated 130 hp. The fuselage, resting on the lower wing in the designs of Herny Farman, was now positioned just between the upper and lower wing.

Because of the quick developments = the MF-40 proofed to be to vulnerable for operational use and was mainly used as a trainer or handed over to smaller allied countries such as Belgium.

A Farman F.40, of the Belgian Air Force (Belgisch Luchtwezen) landed on November 10, 1916 on the beach near Terheijden.
The engine was replaced by that of a fully destroyed, and interned Farman MF.11. On November 17 a test flight was made by Lt. Van Heyst. The aircraft received the registration LA37. At the beginning of 1918 it was reserialled with F901, later this was changed to F801. The Farman MF.40 was stationed at airfield Middereduit near Vlissingen.

The Farman HF-20 had a wingspan of 13,5 m and had also skates between the wheels.

The Farman HF-22 showed a great resemblance with the HF-22, but had a larger wingspan of 15,58 m and lacked both skates.

In service with LVA; RNLNAS and NEIAF.

In service with LVA.

In May 1913 Captain Walaardt Sacre, Lieutenant Van Heyst and ir Roozendaal visited in France several aircraft factories in search of equipment for the Aviation Department (Luchtvaart Afdeeling) of the Dutch Army (known as LVA) , which had to be established.
After evaluating products from Farman, Caudron and Bleriot, the Farman HF-20 was selected.
Three aircraft of this type were bought and delivered in September 1913 with the registration LA2 through LA4.

The Farmans were all used for training purposes.
The LA2 crashed on September 27, 1915, killing both pilots Lt Hofstee and Lt. Polis. On June 26 the LA3 crashed at Soesterberg, the lt Schlimmer was badly wounded, the mechanic Corporal Van de Wal, was only slightly injured.
The remaining LA4 was re-serialled HF26 early 1918 and went out of service mid-1919.

Early 1914, six aircraft of a larger, improved version, the Farman HF-22 were ordered. Due to the outbreak of war, just four examples were delivered.
Three of them received the LVA serials LA6 to LA8. The fourth went to the Navy with the registration M1. Oddly enough, two sets had an 60 hp engine, the other two had a 80 hp engine. The engine of 60 horsepower was soon replaced by a 80 hp engine.

The Naval Farman M.1 was already on 25 May 1915 transferred to the LVA, where the registration was LA9.

Aircraft Factory NV Nederlandsche Trompenburg, owned by Henri Wijnmalen, was requested to built new aircraft as Wijnmalen had obtained the licensing rights for Farman.

On June 22, 1915 was the first Trompenburg-Farman HF22, serialled LA10 was delivered. The last Trompenburg-Farman, serialled LA27 was delivered on April 26, 1916. Trompenburg built eleven aircraft for the LVA, ie LA10, LA11, LA15 t/m LA21 and LA26 and LA27, and three pieces for the Navy.

Early 1918, the remaining Farmans were reserialled with new registrations HF10 to HF20. Crashed aircraft were used by the technical department of the LVA, to build two new aircraft, LA30 and LA32, later serialled HF15.
At the end of 1918, all remaining Farman were decommissioned and sold.

Over time, the Gnome engines replaced by Swedish Thulin A 80-100 hp engines.

In service with RNLNAS.

The first aircraft of the Dutch Navy, a Farman HF-22, entered service on July 28, 1914 with serial MA1. 

It was used intensively at Soesterberg as a trainer, so after one year a complete overhaul was necessary. It was handed over to the LVA, which gave it the new serial LA9.

At the end of July 1915 a second Farman, with serial M1 was received, soon followed by five other aircraft. These were built under license at the Trompenburg aircraft factory at Amsterdam. The Farmans received new serials  in 1917, A1 till A6.

In October 1918 the Farmans were transferred to the new Naval Air Station "De Kooy" and kept in service as trainers till mid 1919.

In service with NEIAF.
