B(L)-3
Upon landing at Evere airfield on Wednesday April 28th 1925, Bristol F.2b Fighter Type 17 L-3 was caught by a gust of wind and thrown onto a train delivering fuel. Fortunately the pilot Adjudant Georges Bauthier (5th Promotion) (seen in the cockpit) escaped without injury and the petrol tanks didn't explode.
