Guys

Mabe it is time to refresh ourselves with JTB McCudden's actual combat report:

"During a combat between three EA and several SE5's over Zonnebeke, one was a Triplane, 1 EA the new type Fokker Biplane and an Albatross Scout. The Fokker did not do much fighting, but a closer view of the hostile Triplane confirms my previous description of it, dated 6th Sept 1917."

Fokker Biplane being the early Brit identification for Pfalz. So either Bellen or Rudeberg was there for a short while, before bugging out.

Happy new year to all.
