Hi!

According to french source ( L'aviation maritime française pendant la grande guerre - ARDHAN 1999 ), this took place on 9 june 1916.
The crew was quarter-masters Mercier and Le Prévost aboard a Donnet-Denhaut coded D-5 (D for Dunkirk ).
From this book the plane was lost between Ostende and Zeebrugge because of mechanical failure. The seaplane was later found, minus its crew by a french vessel.
