These walk-around photos were taken at the RAF Museum London in Hendon in 2019. They show a replica Albatros D.Va, marked as D.7343/17 and representing the aircraft flown during the summer of 1918 by Vizefeldwebel Karl Friedrich Kurt Jentsch of Jasta 61, a seven-victory ace on the Western Front. The Albatros D.V series entered service in mid-1917 and became the standard German single-seat fighter of that year, with its elegant semi-monocoque plywood fuselage setting it apart from the fabric-covered aircraft of its contemporaries. Despite its attractive design, it was increasingly outclassed by the Sopwith Camel and SE.5a, and suffered from a structural weakness in the lower wing that eventually led to a prohibition on prolonged diving. Over 3,000 were built, yet only two original examples survive worldwide. This flying replica was built in 2011 by New Zealand company The Vintage Aviator Ltd, and uses an original contemporary Mercedes D.III engine from RAF Museum stocks. Registered as ZK-TVD, it was flown at aviation events in New Zealand before being exported to the United Kingdom in mid-2012, arriving at Hendon in October that year.
