The landing gear seems to be of Blériot origin.

We should notice which subtype?

The people in the picture might be from an orientalic background and in the turkish wars always the Blériot XI is mentioned.
They probably would have used the 2-seater in 1913-1914 if this challenge fits the 14'-18' frame somehow.

I found the designation Blériot XI "Militaire" or "XI B" for this type, sometimes called Blériot XII too.


Cheers

Do I get to post a new guess once every twelve hours?
Like Bleriot Type XI Artillerie, Bleriot Type XI-2 Genie, or Bleriot Type XI-3?

Hello all

I agree with Bleriot type plane, but the skids in front of the wheels are not usual for the Bleriot XI ? May be they had been added for training purpose ?
Anyway , I think there was only 2 two seaters delivered to Serbian armee
, Bleriot 11-2s or Bleriot 2bis

I'm thinking this is a Bleriot "Penguin" non-flying trainer.

Once again, I have to beg off. I can't provide a suitably challenging wreck, so must pass that privilege along to somone else.
