We can date this photograph to 9 October 1918 and specifically at Deir el Belah. It is being transported to a ship for transport to Britain where it was torn apart to learn any secrets of its construction which then would appear in Allied aircraft as modifications.

This particular aircraft was flown by Gustav Adolf Dittmar. His story and that of the capture can be found here:
