Good afternoon.

The WW1 machines are not my specialty so let me know if you can identify this ones.

Albatros W.4, according to the blurb on the shot you posted That looks to be correct.
Cheers

Is not a W4, the W4 was single seat, this has pilot and gunner.

You are right. Maybe one of the Friedrichshafen float planes then?

Lock me in with a Friedrichshafen FF 33L based on the tail and wing/float struts.
And every nice video by the way!

I agree that's the Friedrichshafen FF33L C2MG version. Later variants of the seaplane had more pairs of struts.

A little bit more info; the aircraft are FF 33Ls and the station is Zeebrugge, or Seeflugstation Flandern I to the Germans. The Zeebrugge Mole seaplane base was characterised by its railway line that ran the length of the pier, which is clearly shown in the clip, in transporting the aircraft from the hangars to the launch ramps.
