Photo LFG Roland C.II
Hello,
Currently on ebay at: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-Flugpla...AAAOSwx0teN-0N is a nice photo of a LFG Roland C.II. Can anyone say whether the star markings on the wheels and spinner are unit markings or personal markings of the pilot? Regards, Clint |

Re: Photo LFG Roland C.II
Can't help making some reflections here.
Odd, no 'bestellnummer' is visible on this aircraft. Secondly this is the second time this pet name is used on a Roland C.II even if the other e-bay photo name was spelled Meerkatzi. Why are these two aircraft pet named after a monkey species in Africa? Were both pilots from German East Africa perhaps, or was/is this a common pet name for German girls? In Sweden we simply nicked the German name and called that general species 'Markatta' but it is also a name we gave to troublesome (read independent) girls who had no intention of obeying silly male rules.... :) Same in Germany perhaps? Cheers Stig |
Re: Photo LFG Roland C.II
Yes,
It seems to me that with LFG Bestellnummer on both the C.II and D types was usually either not applied or painted over as the case may be, though I think Bestellnummer are slighly more common on later LFG C.II. It is unusual that both LFG C.II have a variant of Meerkatz, I don't know why that is. Not sure if you watch any uk tv, but our most famous Meerkat is Russian, Alexander Orlov and advertises a comparison sight. Regards, Clint |
Re: Photo LFG Roland C.II
Aha :)
However a Meerkat is not the same thing as the German Meerkatze (Vervet in English). The Meerkatze is a monkey while the meerkat is a smallish mammal living in groups underground. Very nice animals. Seen them in Kalahari. Cheers Stig |
