A bad or a good day?

Well, he can be glad that he walked away without injury, but it was the only tree to be hit within a radius of several hundred meters…

:D Hi Volker! Reminds me of that old poem that started " I thought that I would never see, A Tiger Moth up in a tree".

How do you know he walked away ? The guy in the photo doesn,t look like a pilot and he,s not wearing a pilot badge.

... I also don't know if there was a dozen of big trees immediately behind the photographer.

"...and he,s not wearing a pilot badge."

Well, my immediate thought was that the machine on the photo was a training machine, since it is a typical B-class aircraft with German national markings of the July - October 1916 era. And if the man in the foreground was the pilot, then he would not have received the badge before finishing his training (and this landing would not helped to him to receive it within the next few days).

Anyway, without the real background history it will be just a "funny picture" taken is "hard times"...

:)The chap walking away does look a bit disgruntled so he just might have been the Pilot.;)

Hi,
Only just came into this, late as usual. Has anyone spotted the guy on the wing facing into the front cockpit? Is he the pilot, and the main man walking away the observer? Is the third man, looking towards the main man, just someone who came to help?

Just a thought or three,
Bob

All I can say is: possibly...

Note the position of the crosses on each top wing: the port wing is right at the tip while the starboard wing has it closer to the fuselage. I've always picked this as being a training machine which has led a hard life!:surrender:
