Methinks that one was a little too easy my friend. This photograph of an Airco D.H.2 is captioned to have been shot down "bei Ypern Zonebeke" (I assume this means between Ypres and Zonnebeke but closer to Zonnebeke). I had no idea this is the prototype D.H.2.
--Interestingly enough the tail nr., as you can see in the attachment below, has been souvenired but the tops of two numbers remain on the rudder.
