Hello,


Currently on ebay are some Farman photos showing some interesting (??) rudder markings

Admittedly,not a Farman,but interesting I thought, Bleriot XI-2 Bl.108. This machine has been seen before at the same event just showing the large 6B on the rudder,leading myself at least to wrongly believe that the 6B was an early form of STAe number. But clearly not so.

Hello,


As a follow up to the previous post in this thread,is the Farman designation known for the type referred to by the military as the Army Type LXXX?

Hello,


Currently on delcampe is a photo of a Farman MF.11 672


https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...152602987.html


There is some degree of likelihood that the machine belongs to a training unit based on the position of the numerals. Looking for the star marking seen on this machine, I came across the following video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkdSYH7CX1c


The video is captioned as MF.52,but normally this unit had a crescent moon with the star,not seen on the machine in the video.


So are any french training units known that operated machines with a star marking?

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of a Farman with the serial F.1.

I'm uncertain of the type of Farman seen given both that early Farman's are hard to differentiate and the early SFA numbering system seemingly went through a number of variations.
