Yes the AWM has one of the two surviving Albatros DV's - a formaer Jasta 29 machine it also has an original 2 AFC SE5 and a Pfalz DXII. A DH9 has more recently been restored. There are also three to four German egines from 2-seaters which were taken to Oz as trophy machines after WW1 but sadly were destroyed in a fire. And of couse there is a fair few bits von Richthofen's Fokker DR1 425/17 as well as his fur boots. There is also the tail skid from a Jasta 7 Pfalz DIII (Mertens kia) shot down by Aussie ace Capt Cobby
There is also a complete Lancaster Bomber which flews heaps of missions over Germany. Also Me 110 tail fin of German night fighter ace Schafner with 121 victory bars!!!!
Plus heaps of other war material - well worth the visit! Moreover not all is on display - in Canv berra suberb of Mitcham there is the AWM's restoration warehouse which when I last visited c 1990 had a Zero, an Me 262, an Me 109 G and a B29 under restoration.
Cheers Russ
