These photos of Rennie’s crash were taken by my paternal Grandfather, Captain William Arnorr Stevens. He was a Captain with the 19th Regiment (19th Lincoln Regt.) and served as a gunnery instruction officer, attached to the Royal Flying Corps (Canada). He served with the RFC (Canada) at Borden, Texas, Beamsville and Hamilton. 

The multiple views of the same crash make it perfect for a diorama modeller to recreate.
