Crashed plane ID ?
Hi,
A little bit jealous of Rammjaeger  , I will also give it a try to post an unknown crashed plane with partial id on the forum.I know it did crash as I have another photo of it, in which it's nose is being dug out from the ground !  It is dated in 1915 normally or early 1916 and photographed in West-Flanders, the southern part or in the coastal area, taking a look at all the other ones of the album. Any ideas ? Possibly is a navy plane... Best from Johan

My opinion
Hi,
It certainly looks like an LVG B.I to me. Looking at Datafile No. 98 on this type, I can find LVG B.I 251/15 and LVG B.I 318/15, and this serial seems to be B. 307/15. The structure of the fin, rudder and tailplane/elevators, and fuselage, all seem to fit. But that's just my opinion. Greg VanWyngarden

Greg !
It could be very well that you solved the first part of this puzzle !  I had also been concentrating on Albatros or Aviatik, and had given up. Seems that Rod, Eric and R Pope had the same idea as I did originally on this plane. Thank you very much everybody ! Best from a happy Johan

The fuselage isn't plywood covered and so that rules out the Albatros! The LVG marking style on the rudder matches this for an LVG B-type. It isn't a naval landplane, though. There would be a different LF number for that... not the style seen.

Thanks Cigogne and Dan-San !
Does anyone have an idea to what unit B307 went ? I know it's a small chance this may be known but one never knows ! Best from Johan
