The rear of the photo is in several respects more attractive than the front with beautiful handwriting and details of the crash. Given the location, the machine is possibly from FEA 4.

Good grief Clint!

That is the way every flip side should look like.
If they did, we wouldn't have any problems, would we...?

Indeed Stig,


But then what would happen the fun of attempting to identify machines, based on difficult to interpret photos like this one:

I leieve I read C.II 454 and that this machine is LVG C.II 454/16. What do you think?

Well Clint

It would undoubtedly save us (me?) a lot of time....

In this case I believe you are correct. First three digits indeed look like 454. The two after the slash are unreadable, but I take it you have already checked the year, so yes, I agree

Cheers

Hi Stig,


The same machine from a slightly different angle is included in Aeronaut's LVG Vol.2, but you can't see the serial as well or indeed increase the size of the photo on your pc. But it does have anice Ronny Barr profile of this machine too. Thanks muchly for your view.Hopefully one day it'll prove possible to id the unit as its such a strikingly marked machine.


Regards,
