Re: Captured British Aircraft
I agree with Nick
Looks very much like a 62 Sq aircraft.
According to Les Rogers their particular three stripe markings were discontinued in late March 1918, so this aircraft may have been lost behind German lines between Jan - March.
No 62 Sq had two disastrous days in March, the 12th and 13th, when they lost six aircraft.
Unfortunately none of these aircraft are listed in the Bristol book with a code letter, but one of these six aircraft feels quite likely to be it.
No 62 Sq had some more combat losses before April and that was on the 24th, 27th and 28th of March, but none of them seems to have ended up behind enemy lines.
