Photo Friedrichshafen G.III
 

Helllo,


Currently on ebay at:


https://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-Pilot-F...0AAOSwqn1eMAl7


is a nice photo of a Friedrichshafen G.III.


Given that information from the seller states that the photos come from an observer who flew with FFA 2b and subsequently FA 45b, I assume this must have been taken while visiting another unit.I assume this unit is Kasta V, given the V on the rudder.


The serial number is present, but difficult to make out due to the low contrast. Can anyone decipher it?


Regards,


Clint

Given that the image at :


https://www.ebay.de/itm/Flieger-BG-2...kAAOSw5BNehzsy


by the same seller is captioned as belonging to Bosta 10, Perhaps the first image too is an aircraft of the same unit?

Other photos from the same origin have been of Bogohl 8b aircraft.Indeed having checked http://www.buddecke.de/bg8.htm the aircraft is G.823/18 of Bosta 25b

The fuselage is quite "wrinkled" from the crash where part of the Bestellnummer is visible. I cannot determine if you or "Buddeke" are correct.

Why are you so certain it is 823 and not 820?

Cheers

Hello Stig,


Particular thanks for your last post. I think you and Buddecke are in fact correct and the machine shown is in fact G.820/18.Upon further checking my records I see that WDF 65 P.9 has a photo of G.823/18 and while machines could change between Bostas that machine is given as Bosta 26, not Bosta 25 and is also marked differently.Excellent.


Regards,
