Whoa! Apologies for not returning to this thread sooner.

Thank you for the comments. I’ve posted some additional information in a new thread: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?137096-Searching-for-Mercedes-D-III-Parts&highlight=mercedes

Errol, good idea. I am a long time member using the same name, Maxim08, on the Aerodrome. Information is posted there but Key Publishing is an active forum with many users involved in many aspects of aviation, not just WW1. Oddly enough, many of my WW1 items have come from those not overly interested in WW1 but aware of what is ‘out there’ due to an overall interest in aviation.

While I have yet to find any direct Albatros production records, a researcher via ‘The Aerodrome’ forum has come up with some good information that indicates the engine was probably in an early Albatros D V aircraft.

Regards
John
