This profile is taken from a photo which appears in "One Airmans War" depicting Martinsyde 7488 on its back after a landing accident on the 28th of February 1917. The pilot was Lieutenant John V. Tunbridge who lost a wheel on taking off and flipped the aircraft on it's back, seemingly a fairly common incident in the squadron with the G100 aircraft. The book also contains a photograph of 7477 on it's back with a lost wheel and the Schaedel book, depicts another G100 flown by Captain Oswald Watt on it's back with a missing wheel. The Datafile No.70 also depicts a 14 Sqn RFC Martinsyde on it's back missing a wheel. Most of the Martinsyde aircraft which served in the Palestine and Mesopamian theatre had a bar across the forward wheel struts.

Matinsyde 7488 in it's early time with the squadron contains dark doping on it's fuselage and a CDL fixed vertical stabilizer. The darker doping may have been either PC12 or PC10, the profile is speculating that the doping is PC12. Later photographs of 7488 which appear in the Australian War Memorial photographic database and in the Windsock Datafile No.70 show 7488 in al all over CDL scheme. This transition seems to be true for all early G100 Martinsydes which saw service with the Squadron.
