Aircraft No. B8392 was flown by Lieutenant Frank Currie . Lieutenant Francis Thomas Currie served in the Australian Flying Corps, having enlisted for the Australian Imperial Air Force on the 25th of September 1916 until the 12th of July 1919 when he returned to Australia. B8392 as shown with flight marking of "1" was most likely from B Flight.

In 1917 he went on to command No. 85 Sqdn. (using S.E.5as) and ended the war with 72 confirmed victories. He is the second-highest ace among British and Commonwealth fliers.

The Aircraft:
-------------
The S.E.5 and its successor, the S.E.5a, rank among the very
best Allied fighters of World War I. Introduced in May 1917,
about the same time as the famous Sopwith F.1 Camel, the S.E.5
was fast and rugged. Although it did not have the agility
of the Camel, it served as a steady gun platform. Several
of the most famous British and Commonwealth fliers achieved
their successes in the S.E.5, including Albert Ball, Edward
Mannock and James McCudden.
Installation:
-------------
