Crashed landed after a dogfight with 3 Sqn, Australian Flying Corps, on December 17, 1917, and recovered by its personnel under artillery fire. Repaired at Saint-Omer and flown to the UK where it became G/101. Claimed as a war prize by the Australians and shipped to Australia in mid 1918. Now part of the Australian War Memorial collection. Fabric, with a lozenge pattern camouflage, retained from a restoration in the 1960s was used as a guide for a further restoration completed in 2008.
