Wilkommen to the BCFC Nr.521.

All appologies for the delay.
The first Christmas Party has come and gone, now it's time for the next one. And the next one!



Here's an easy "BOAT LOAD" of points for someone:



You name it.... It's probably there!
Alrighty then, it's on to the real business at hand.

Breguet's Crash Files

The Rules:

1. All aircraft are of the 14-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.
3. All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner! Offenders will be dealt with severely!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
5. And whom ever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
6. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.




Remember, have fun, but no kicking, scratching, or biting is allowed.
Name calling is sometimes encouraged, but go cautiously.



MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR,

FOKKERJ

Greetings Jay,

This is probably Rumpler C.IV judging by the cross-section of fuselage, triangular fin and gunner's post. I think I have seen this picture before but do not have enough time to check out where.

Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Hi again,

It is possible that this is another Rumpler – I mean C.VII – standard version or special photo-reconnaissance version called Rubild, or C. VIII – according to the type of engine and additional equipment. It is difficult to pinpoint it definitively thought, as the three types were virtually identical.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Marek

Hello Marek,

It could be an "batros.CIV.jpg" too!

I am having a horrible run of Bad Luck with these.

Hello,

I was sure I saw this picture before. Albatros C.IV?! Highly unlikely. Now I am sure it is Rumpler C.IV (or one of its derivatives mentioned above).

Jay,

Have you considered your own challenges? What about

FOKKERJ’s “Guess where you saw this picture earlier” Contest.


Sorry, I could not resist.

Regards

Marek

Hi Marek

good idea for a new challenge!

But now I can't resist to say I will not follow your " Marry Christmas"!

I fear a possible divorce might be too expensive!

Be of good cheer! Even I can't be annoyed with you at this time of year!

Now pick yourself up, dust yourself off and back into the fray, stout fellow!!

Hi Joachim,

I resolutely advise against such marriage.

Cheers
