AEG G.IV G.IV Germany Evaluation 1918 One captured German aircraft, Shipped to Australia as a war trophy for the Australian War Museum, passed to the Brisbane City Council in 1921, eventually fell into disrepair and thought to have been scrapped at Archerfield in 1939.[11]
Albatros C.I C.Ib Germany Evaluation 1918 One captured German aircraft (Serial 4908/18). Transported to Australia for the Australian War Memorial. Offered by the Commonwealth Government to the Brisbane City Council in 1921 where it was stored while funds were sought to recondition the aircraft for display. It was passed between several organisations in the 1920s and early 1930s finding its way to Archerfield by 1932. All mention of the aircraft of the aircraft disappears from this point and it presumed that the refurbishment was abandoned and the aircraft was most likely scrapped by 1939 when the RAAF moved in to Archerfield.[12]
