Those Nieuports may have been Siemens D1s - a very close copy mainly used on the EF or for training but some did reach the WF.

Small numbers of the Siemens-Schuckert D.I were used by Jastas 1 - 5, 7, 9, 11 and 14 on the Western Front. However, as confirmed in Adrian's post, the Nieuports in question were ex-French Nieuports. Ltn Gustav Leffers of Jasta 1 flew a Nieuport 16, while Oblt Kurt Student of AOK 3 flew Nieuport 11 No 1324.

Thanks for posting the fascinating photos. The Pup looks like A6194 of No 66 Sqn, flown by Capt L H Smith when it was captured on 24 May 1917.

Do you have any information on when or where the Camel was captured?

Cheers

Can someone with better eyesight than me (these days quite a few) confirm if there is a small v shaped bracket on one of the rear centre section struts?. If so its probably the observer's Lewis gun mount introduced by Louis Strange which would in turn suggest no 5 sqn.
