Capt Hurley made two visits to No. 1 Squadron on the 25 and 28 February 1918, going for his first flight with Captain Ross Macpherson Smith and later flying on a bombing raid and this photograph was probably taken on one of those days. The same image is available in colour and is held at P03631.013.
