Two versions of the Martinsyde ''Elephant" attack plane were made, the G100 and the G102. The ''Elephant" was not very successful and is one of the lesser known aircraft of the era. They were actually designed by Sydney Camm and Anthony Fletcher, who were both working for Martinsyde at the time. The G100 was intended to be a single seat scout but was larger than some bombers so it was soon named the ''Elephant". It turned out to be far too stable to be a fighter and was mainly used as a bomber-reconnaissance machine. 272 ''Elephants" were built, many of the earlier G100s being modified to the later G102 standard. There are no ''Elephants" of either type left in existence

RE8. The RE stood for Reconnaissance Experimental. The 8 was the version or model number. Over 4000 were built. These were the 'bombers' that dropped the ammo at the Battle of Hamel. The twin seat RE8 was powered by the 120 hp (110kW) Royal Aircraft Factory in-line engine.

It was armed with two or three machine guns and could carry 120 kg of bombs. However, not all at the same time. Typically it had a forward firing Vickers mounted on the side of the cowling and a rear Lewis gun. Armed with bombs, two machine guns, pilot and gunner it could barely get off the ground. If photographic reconnaissance was required then they carried a wireless transmitter, and the bombs and possibly a machine gun had to be left behind.
