Hi Parabellum,

I didn´t note it but now I see it. Strange because the identification of s/n from this new, and my source gives BE684. With other indicia like roundel, field shape it frames the period for summer. Last loss for the 174 Sqn before 30/7 was Sgt Mort already on 2/6 during Circus to Foret d´Eu.

Regards,
Michal
