Apparently a training machine as shown by the wooden wheels and quite possibly the reduction in the usual quantity of wings points in the direction of a ground based trainer.

I don't have a unit for C.4130/15, so can anyone read the serial on the next aircraft back in line?

A photo of the same aircraft in an intact state can be found in J Herris Albatros Aircraft of WW.I P.193.

Given wgat can be seen of the serial the aircraft was one of the machines in the range C.1400/16 to C.1404/16 and the wooden wheels would indicate that the machine shown was operated by a training unit.

Hi Clint

Given the highly and deeply curved last digit I would rather put my money on C.1400 than either 1402 or 1403.

Hi Stig,


I quite agree. My first thought was C.1400/16. Hopefully not too coloured by the fact that I've already seen photos of C1401/16 and C.1402/16. It doesn't look like either of those two, but then it wouldn't necessarily as both of those photos show the machines in front line service and the possibility of a change in appearance can't be ruled out. Fingers crossed the seller posts a further image. :)


Regards,


Clint
