Jack Bruce’s book “Britain’s First warplanes” simply states that this aeroplane later served, in a Home Defence role, with ( Squadrom and 10 Squadron.

Can anyone offer any more information, or suggest a readily available (preferably online) source?

There is a fairly comprehensive history on airhistory.org.uk
It was with 2Sq until passed to the RAE on 3.7.14
Then allotted to 1Sq 14.10.14 but passed to 1RAS 20.11.14
Transferred to 10Sq on 7.1.15 and used by ‘A’ Flight at Lydd
A letter from HQ Admin Wing in about March 1915 to Major McInnes in the Directorate of Mil Aeronautics says ‘We have a BE working with the Siege Artly at Lydd, no. 267. No.10 Sq to whom it belongs have now left my Wing and it would be a good thing to re-allot this machine to No.1 RAS who now finds the personnel round there’

I can supply supporting docs if required

Thanks Andrew, that’s great.
I am working on an article for the journal and have 267’s early career pretty much tied up and needed to fill in the last bit.
so some supporting references would be appreciated.
