The picture shows a Friedrichshafen FF 49c in Swedish Navy service with Navy code '26'. Sweden bought two FF 49c direct from Friedrichshafen in January 1919 which obtained Navy codes '23' and '24'. They lasted till 1924 when written off. Two other FF 49c planes were taken into the Navy military operation as '25' and '26'. More information and pictures of the Swedish Navy operated FF 49c seaplanes can be seen at www.avrosys.nu/aircraft/MFV/057ff49c/57FF49C.htm

Kees is correct of course, and the only thing I feel need to be corrected is his use of the word code for 26. To me a code is something which change while a serial number is something permanent. In this case the digits 26 is the aircraft's permanent identity and never changed during its lifetime. It was by the way built by Sablatnig. Stig

Another view of the Friedrichshafen FF 33j Marinenummer '3033'. This is the official front view of the machine. The official sideview picture was here www.flickr.com/photos/49487266@N07/7585286210/in/photolis... Very fine documentary official picture. Probably at the back of the original picture are stamps that will verify that. Mostly it also carries at the back the frightening text 'NUR FÜR DEN DIENSTGEBRAUCH' [For service use only].
