    Nice pics - presumably attempted a forced landing and flipped over - a major ouch.... (The nose wheel was meant to prevent that, but you can't really see what's happened to the front, other than "something bad"....) That'll definitely be in France or Belgium - the Friedrichshafen didn't have the range for Kagohl 3 missions; England was left to the Gothas and R planes.

    Engines is about all there is. Looks like the scavangers have been busy.

    Interesting pictures there Barry.
    It has reminded me that I must do a mission with my Fredrichshafen. The influx of Gothas and Capronis has made me forget that I have other Bombers to fly as well.

    Interesting pictures, Barry.

    I think the souvenir hunters cared for the fuselage covering.

    I see no fire damage.
