[Roser]

Hello

I've bought a picture of a downed British biplane. On the fuselage the roudel between vertical white(?) lines and on the tail A927... (last number can not be read).
Does someone has info on this plane?

Bonjour

The (excellent) book 'British Aviation Squadron Markings of WW1' by Les Rogers confirm my hypothesis
The photo of the DH5 crashed can be seen into the pages concerning 41 Squadron RFC with the caption
"DH5 A'9276 of 2 lt J.L. Haight POW 28.9.17"
'Jasta War chronology' says that a Dh5 was shot down by Uffz U Neckel(jasta 12) near Biache on that day
