The de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth is a 1930s British biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and built by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. It was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and other operators as a primary trainer aircraft. In addition to the type's principal use for ab initio training, the Second World War had RAF Tiger Moths operating in other capacities, including maritime surveillance and defensive anti-invasion preparations; some aircraft were even outfitted to function as armed light bombers. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until it was replaced by the de Havilland Chipmunk during the early 1950s. Many of the military surplus aircraft subsequently entered into civilian operation. Many nations have used the Tiger Moth in both military and civilian applications, and it remains in widespread use as a recreational aircraft. It is still occasionally used as a primary training aircraft, particularly for those pilots wanting to gain experience before moving on to other tailwheel aircraft. Many Tiger Moths are now employed by companies offering trial lesson experiences. The de Havilland Moth club, founded in 1975, is now an owners' association offering a mutual club and technical support. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Tiger_Moth

Pity the photo cannot be blown up more. Easily identifiable is the Curtiss JN-4HG 41554 to the left. That aircraft was also in Rockwell's inventory on 4 Dec 1919. Beside the "usual" Jennies and US built(?) DH-4 there is dark painted small aircraft under the the digit 3 of the hangar in the middle. A Thomas-Morse perhaps? Can the digits on the side be read?

Stig Jarlevik Stig, I replaced this one with a big one.

Thanks However the mystery deepens. What I read on its side are the digits 448 which belonged to a LWF Model V and this is certainly not it! I sure can need some help with that one....😮 Stig

The plane is a Sopwith Dolphin en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwith_Dolphin

Thank you very much for that information!

Seems to be at 2 Fighting School RFC / RAF at Marske, UK. 1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=66920

Is there anything that specifically identifies the location?

According to the reference I shared, going by the serial number visible on the rear fuselage, the aircraft was allocated to the School. It's not definitive, but unlikely to be wrong. Additional clues are the wooden buildings; implying a Home Establishment (UK) airfield rather than more temporary one with canvas hangars on the Continent. Also that it is with an Avro 504 behind (the rudder is distinctive) which was obsolete for front like work by the time the Dolphin entered service, but common on training airfields.
