Are there two machines involved? The cockpit arrangement looks a bit like one of the Halberstadt CL types.

Lloyd C.V
Hi,

I hope it's OK for me to answer now, since it's been over 12 hours since this was posted. I think it's an Austro-Hungarian Lloyd C.V. The plywood veneer-covered wings and the Austrian uniforms and Austrian-style mottled camouflage all point to it.

Greg

No Lloyd I'm afraid - but you're thinking well.

Lloyd
I thought it was a WKF built LLoyd C.V with ply wing covering?

I do have it captioned as an Austro-Hungarian aircraft but not a Lloyd. It could of course be a case of a wrongly captioned picture (not uncommon) so if you guys are sure........

I've since found another picture of what I think to be the same crash - if so it is undoubtedly a Lloyd CV. What do you think, same crash?

I looked at the two photos now for 20 minutes
I would say its the same. The tearing edges of the upper wing cross section look the same. Second photo is taken more from a position to the right , first more from front. The guy left on the fist photo looks the same like the guy 6th from right side on second photo. He moved one wing sector (the vertical white lines) to the right side. So in my opinion the same crash.
