Thanks Cicogne for your information about the finer details of different Halberstadt D-type fighters. As I was not sure about the exact type I made a points of naming it a Halberstadt and not be much more specific

Quote:
The rudder shows overpainting and a British applied number. Whether or not the aircraft was remarked w/ cocades before or after is not known, but the rudder definitely was overpainted by this time judging by the number.
I looked up to find the numbers allotted to captured Halberstadt machines according to here - Captured Enemy Aircraft (1914-1918).

Although the three digits on the rudder are next to unrecognizable (for me) a good candidate could be G12 which is given as a Halberstadt D.V captured on February 15, 1917. It could fit the bill.

Cheers
