Dave, I think you have got it I looked up Colonel Mustard (never heard of) and got via Wikipedia 'Colonel Michael Mustard is the stock character of a great white hunter and colonial buffoon.'

What I can decipher from this blurry picture is an aviator standing before a biplane with a lot of struts .....

Cheers

Well Kees, you're the closest so far! (though you are wrong in at least one detail!)

Hello,
yes, the aviator's standing behind a lot of struts.
Now which plane that flew during the war had so much struts ?!
A Farman ? Only guessing here

Greetings,
Catfish

No, not the correction I have in mind.

[Varese2002]

The aviator standing by the wing seems to be thickly clad. His right hand is obliterated by something, it looks like he has something like a parachute with him May be, only speculating.

There is not much to be seen yet from a propeller (tractor or pusher). Perhaps piece No.4 will bring more.

Hello:

Based on the size of the machine, its colour, number of struts, that it has not been used before (and could not successfully in a normal Challenge) and Breguet’s delight in having a picture of the machine in flight, I will identify this as the Siemens-Schuckert two engine triplane. I have seen different designations for the machine, Dr. I (Gray & Thetford), D Dr I, and my personal favourite, the Flying Egg.

Hello Breguet,

It looks like some kind of Wright Bros. Flying contraption.
Although I do like Dave's answer.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

A valiant attempt and our first real supposition - not right - but brave nonetheless!
