Interesting picture, this is one of 142 former German Fokker D VIIs that made their way to the USA after the Armistice, this particular aircraft was fitted with a 200 hp Packard V-12 engine.

This is a peculiar photograph and annoying since the backdrop has been blanked out. If this is Richtofen's machine, or one of them, it is likely to be the one that was on display in the Deutsches Luftfahrtsammlung in Berlin.

Nice clean picture of the Shuttleworth Collection's Bristol F2b, probably while it was being kept in airworthy condition by the Bristol Aeroplane Company and operated at the Shuttleworth Collection's airfield at Biggleswade. Note the nose of the Bristol Bulldog behind, which was written off in a crash at Farnborough in 1964, so both these aircraft together would put this picture between 1961 and 1964.

Here's the same aeroplane these days.

And the Bulldog, which underwent a mammoth restoration and is now on display at the RAF Museum. Note the original centre-section as recovered after its crash.
