Regulus,
the FF 29 was indeed one of the aircraft in a basically unchanged row of designs spanning from the pre war FF 19 (of which 15 were build) over the FF29 to the FF 33 and basically to the FF 49.
The FF 29 was build in 44 examples by both Friedrichshafen and KW Wilhelmshaven, naval numbers being 91-100, 201-220, 290-296 and 406-415, (3 of which were not build, leaving 44 in total).
In general, the FF 29 was an up-engined FF 19, replacing the Daimler D I with a D II (or an Argus in some aircraft), even though some or all of the Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven build FF 29´s seem to have reverted to the D I.
Dimensions of the FF 29 included a span of 16.300 mm and a length of 10 200 mm, even though variations may be possible.
The FF 29 was really similar to the early FF 33/33a - an identifier compared to the later 33 versions being the third float under the tail.
Use in Zeebrugge included the first recorded attack on British soil (by aircraft 204 on Dec 24, 1914, the bomb crater of whose bombs were found - something not happening with the first "usually claimed" attack by Carl Caspar in a Gotha Taube 2 month earlier) or the retrival of HMS Maori´s Ensign by a/c 209 on May 7, 1915.
There is a number of photos of Zeebrugge FF 29´s. Two typical examples include the two aircraft above, which are both depicted in Alex Imrie´s "German Naval Air Service" (in the AAP Vintage Aviation Fotofax series), photos 18 and 25 (even though Imrie misses out the story of 204 over there).
