Mate,
I am no expert but that looks like a British Aircraft above their heads.
I have no reports of any British/aussie aircraft over Beersheba that day by LH soldiers even if they did indeed fly them.
The closness of German /Turkish airfields allowed them to fly many sorties that day and gave us much trouble and many losses.
This airplane should be a German plane (called taube by LH) which bombed the charge and DMC HQ during that afternoon.
Cheers

Thanks Steve but being ex-Recon I a shamed you missed the cross on it and tail section or maybe the down load is to small and yes it a German Rumbler with the two front panels removed. Some times to much historical accuracy is a bad thing. I was hoping you would comment on the Luger? (he he)
As for no British planes at Beersheba AMW P01184.023 Weli Sheikh Nuran, Palestine. 8 October 1917. A German Air Force DIII Albatros Scout aircraft, D636/17, flown by Oberleutenant Dittman of Fliegerabteilung 300 unit. The aircraft had been shot down, practically intact, into AIF Light Horse lines near Bersheeba by a Bristol fighter aircraft flown by Lieutenant R. Steele a Canadian pilot with No 111 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps. No 1 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps, members recovered the machine and moved it to their airfield where repairs, including a bullet holed radiator, were carried out returning it to flying condition.

Clipper,
Agreed. these Allied Sqn's did operate that day 31st Oct 1917 over Beersheba but they played little in the over all battle as no account mentions them on the day in question.
While German aircraft came over in a large numbers operating many of sorties which bombed our men and disrutpted the supply coloums inflicting many losses.
The British/Aussie Sqns had to fly from airfields near the coast while German sqn's were closer to Beersheba.
Sorry I didn't enlarge the photo so missed the details you mentioned on the aircraft, it looked like a Tiger moth not a German Rambler you mentioned.
My old eyes have no longer got the sharpness of my Recon Cav days.
Cheers
