Breguet's crash files challenge No 503

[Flamingo]

At some point air and ground crew got too young - resulting in this "Damenlandung" (lady's landing).

But what type was it?

Previous Breguet's Crash Files

The Rules :

1. All aircraft are of the 14-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.
3. All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner! Offenders will be dealt with severely!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
5. And whom ever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
6. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.

Bonjour à tous

For the nose appearence ,struts arrangement , I would say
Albatros B III
but I am not sure because I can't see much of the tail

Cheers

Richard

Greetings Joachim, Richard B., & Crankcase,

The cowling panel, nose vent holes, and the cabane struts (NOT TRESTLE!) remind me of the Rumpler B.I.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

P.S. Oh yah, I forgot to mention the cowling panel is "SQUARE" shaped, engine with "Rhino" exhaust and water tube running above the length of the cylinder heads also the fact that my foto shows wire spoked wheels.

Hello

Hello Richard,

I hope that you are right.

About me being right!

It being Halloween Eve and all, I was hoping that we could offer some "TRICK OR TREATS"
to all of those young boys blocking the view of the tail section!

Damenlandung. This is quite nice similitude.

I think Richard is right about identification of the plane. However there is something what especially catches my eye in this picture. It is an unusual look of wheels. I mean these shiny “things” enfolding tires. Does anybody know what it is and for what purpose? Is it possible that they utilized spoked wheels with wooden substitute of rubber tires?

Regards
