[WWI] Beersheba aircraft

Hi Nick!
Yes, there is. It's a simple threstle structure perched atop the flatcar, and Jerries sitting all around it. Unfortunately my scanner died, but perhaps some picture library online can have this picture. I'll search the AWM

  Diego said- '' But they had a nifty railroad flatcar equipped with a Mercedes engine and propeller that they used to go to and from some town . . ''  Are there any pictures of that thing? Sounds like a bit of a Heath Von Robinson contraption that would make a great diorama, mefinks. Don't mean to digress from Shane's original question but that description really conjures up a vivid picture in my tiny mind.
