There was an article in "Cross & Cockade International" on aircraft interned in Holland (Netherlands). Can access my collection, but this may be a start for you. Colin A Owers |

Aircraft Interned
There's an article in Over the Front, Vol 14, No. 4 1999, titled Dutch Military Aircraft by J.G.H. Visser wich would interest you. It lists many interned a/c by serial number and identifies the interned crews.

No discussion of interned aircraft would be complete without mention of the Maurice Farman confiscated by Switzerland. This incident featured the famous French ace Georges Felix Madon, who lost his way in the fog, and landed near the town of Porrentruy, Switzerland, a good hundred miles away from his intended destination (Toul). Madon himself was interned, escaped, and was again ordered to sixty days confinement after he reached France for the loss of government equipment. The rear echelon types apparently took a dim view of his period of "French leave"!

One, or perhaps more than one, Sopwith Camels ended up i Denmark, following the British attack on Tondern airship-base in 1918. At least one of the Camels was in flyable condition.
