The aircraft being recovered from the front lines after it along with other Albatros Scouts had engaged the RE8 of Sandy and Hughes of 3 Sqn Australian Flying Corps.

Their RE8 was to fly in wide circles over the front before running out of petrol and landing fairly gently far behind entente lines, earning the legend the Ghost RE8.
