[WWI] Albatross DIII (oeffag ser. 253)

[Crawford Neil]

I'm busy fiddling about with my Albatross DIII (oeffag) with the raised guns. I've done
the fuel(?) control panel on the left cockpit side, and the aluminium box. After a lot of thinking
I found a couple of photos, that show two big pipes that go into that box, and a square
funnel thing just to the left of the gun. So my theory is that the spent cartridges eject from
the machine gun on the left side, fall into the funnel, slide down the pipe and into the box
which is good environmentalist thinking from the Austro-Hungarians.  Please tell me
if this makes sense, otherwise I'm going to do it like that.

Also a request, does anyone have a photo of Peters Albatross DIII ser.253, it's the one
depicted on the back of the JAPO book with the ying-yang symbol. I have that book, the
datafile, and the FMP book, but can't find the photo that profile is based on. A  reference
or a scan would be great.
Best regards Neil
