I seem to recall that the engine was either an early Benz or an Argus (I didn’t have the time to make a reasonable examination at the time). It thought it could be linked to a German two seater crew brought down in early 1916 who are buried in a cemetery near the old Naval 8 field of St Eloi. I think they were brought down by a Gunbus of No 11 Sqdn. I have more detail stored somewhere.
