Aircraft of Groupe de Bombardement 2 at Saint-Pol-sur-Mer landed at Kats, Zeeland province on 3 February 1915. The two crew had lost their way in bad weather. France offered to gift the aircraft to the Netherlands but to maintain neutrality it was paid for. Briefly flown with Dutch serial LA22. The B in the LB designation signified a 37-mm cannon in the nose but that probably didn't last long. The aircraft does carry a flexible machine gun.
