  • Descrizione: The aircraft is taken out from its shed at Batum seaplane base. It appears to be a modified Farman M Type seaplane. The crew get in and the seaplane takes off from the water's edge. The view down from the aircraft shows the town and base of Batum, and the wharves with cargo ships riding at anchor. The plane flies out to rendezvous with a Bistri Class destroyer at sea, lands, and is towed back to Batum by the ship. A second seaplane, used as the camera plane, can also be seen in tow.
