Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

Hello Bertrand,


Thanks for the reply. C.280/15 was a C.I, whereas, I believe the aircraft in the link in a LVG C.II,conveniently photos of both machines are here:


http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escad...043_Avions.htm


Unfortunately the serial for the LVG C.II of FA (A) 262 is not provided.


Regards,


Clint

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

At least two of the photos stated to show B.280/15 on Denis site show Albatros B.II aircraft (in my opinion)

But on the other hand I am notoriously bad at identifying German two-seaters....

Cheers
Stig

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

Hi Stig,


Totally agree.Regretable. However, some of the C.280/15 photos are actually of a LVG C.I. and I might add, I don't believe that there's a published serial list for the batch of LVG C.I which includes C.280/15 and terminates in C.323/15, so very useful that Albindenis published the photographs. So as a follow up to that has anyone seen any evidence for LVG C.I serials in the range C.274/15 to C.279/15?


Regards,


Clint

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

Hard to tell and not able to identify BUT the

caption on the ebay photo gives Vedrines and Moreuil

Is-it a bad caption with a mix of Moreuil and the loss of the LVG type C II n° C ... / 15 of FAA 262 at Moreuil on 3 october 1915 ?????

Hello,


Currently on delcampe are two German aircraft that have fallen into French hands:


https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...176603604.html


One is a Gotha, either LE.2 A88/13 or LE.3 A.88/14.


The other an Aviatik P 14 with an inscription below the pilots cockpit. Alas, to myself at least, illegible.

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo captioned as a saptured Fokker at:


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154717261...YAAOSwC9xhnkaN


It isn't a Fokker,It may be a captured Pfalz or possibly an uncaptured Morane Saulnier Type L.Difficult to say.



Regards,


Clint

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

Clint it's a Morane L., it has the "MS" logo on the cowling; early ex-French machines kept French cocardes in British service.

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

Hello,


Currently on delcampe are a couple of photos of German aircraft in French markings


AEG C.IV



https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...125026540.html


Pfalz D.IIIa 8033/17


https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...125026516.html


The latter machine has been seen before,though may be not this photo, but it gives me a chance to ask what the significance of the marking on the tail is?


The seller has may other photos of French aircraft both Great War and from the interwar period,though some at least have been seen before, at

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

Clint. This is 8033/17 (Jasta 64w) captured 27 March 1918, believed to have shot it's own prop off; "1663" is her Works Number (or equivalent WW1 term) and "P" probably assigned by the French for evaluation purposes.The system seems a bit random as a captured Albatros D.II was AL910.
Nick


PS I should have twigged the "P" and "AL", must be for Pfalz and Albatros.

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

A bit more trivia. Albatros D.II "AL910" was D.910/16 shot down by 29 and 11 Sqns. on 4 March 1917, flown by Max Bohme Jasta 5 (POW); British "G" number was G.14, then passed to the French and both were evaluated at Villacoubly.

Hello,


Currently on delcampe are a couple of photos of ex-German aircraft in Belgium. Possibly it would be more accurate to speak of reparations rather than capture.


LVG C.VI


https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...129783439.html



Fokker D.VII


https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...129788293.html

Re: Photos Captured German Aircraft
 

Clint

The C.VI is unusual since it lacks all kind of either civil or military markings.
By the time the photo was taken (Oct 1920) it really should have.
The only reason I can think of is that the Belgian AF never put all of their assigned C.VI into use.
Many were no doubt used for spares but others were perhaps used as ground trainers?
The engine is running pretty smoothly in this picture. Any idea?

The Fokker should be 6693/18 which became F2 with the AF

Cheers
Stig
