Absolutely! I am not sure if they are repairing it, learning how to service it, or what... But yes indeed, the same air-cooled MG as used on aircraft.Great photo! I have limited knowledge of MG's but is that not the same type used on aircraft??
I think I have one for you! Let me look...I had hoped the photo included them wearing the Armeeflugpark patch. I’m still looking for a picture of it being worn. Here’s my patch.

I am not 100% certain this is an Armeeflugpark patch, but it certainly looks like it to me.I had hoped the photo included them wearing the Armeeflugpark patch. I’m still looking for a picture of it being worn. Here’s my patch.

Very nice photo!
In my opinion that's the armory where the photo was taken. As you can see that the LMG is missing it's top cover, feed block, barrel, and rear cover. If you also look at the soldier/airman on the left you can make out an MG-08 barrel cleaning tool hanging from the rack.
