- This aircraft represented a long time project for its builder, who unfortunately died not long after its completion. It was purchased by the GWFM as a flying aircraft although has required on-going work in order to bring it up to museum standards. Painted in the colours of Vzfw Paul Baumer, Fok. Dr I 204.17 as worn with Jasta Boelcke. When acquired this aircraft was painted light blue overall with the exception of its markings and looked rather strange. The application of the green streaking to the upper surfaces went a long way to making it look more correct, although the oversized nose is a clear nod to its large, non-standard engine.
