Ever tried hot-wiring a Fokker Triplane? I can just imagine a helicopter pulling in alongside with a loud message to land immediately. Then a policeman strides across to where you're waiting....
"Switch off your engine Sir.... Yes, completely off. Now could you step into our helicopter, we have reason to believe that this Dr1 is stolen and we need to ask you a few questions.... Do you have a pilots license?... No?.... What about insurance Sir? No, not that either... Doesn't look good, does it Sir?"
Clearly the RFC missed a trick on the western front.
