(1 & 2) w/n 1730, Fokker F.I 103/17 as flown by Ltn Werner Voss flown in September 1917 and then commander of Jasta 10 when he was brought down on the 23 rd.  It was given the British capture number G.72. In a legendary air combat Voss was brought down by members of 56 Sqdn RFC.  The credit was given to Lt. Arthur Rhys-Davids MC.  The wreckage lay in front of the British trenches for some time before it was recovered and further damaged by shellfire. Although this was the first of its type to fall into British hands, very little was said about it in the reports and little of it was considered worth recovering at the time. The RFC report on this airframe can be found in the Public Records Office files AIR1/1061/204/5/1579 and AIR 1/887/204/5/648.  Though it was never displayed intact there aim was to do an under the skin build of a pre-production Fok. F.I type. This is an Aerobase & DML / Dragon  kit crash.
