Photo Comment
This was the first aircraft of DDL and possibly the first entry in the Danish register. It was reportedly ex German navy 3078 and ex D-380. On 7 August 1920 it flew the first DDL service from the Refshaleøen naval air station to Warnemünde via Malmö. Back to Germany after a few months as D-146 as the Allies did not approve its sale or lease to Denmark. Apparently there was a second T-DABA, ex D-43, in 1921.
