Re: Unidentified "Allied" wrecks
 
Stig,

On the Hellenic Air Force site, this page is about the Avro Tudors.

https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...vro-621-tutor/

It appears 30 were delivered from Avro and while 62 more were to be built locally by the State Airplane Factory, they only had completed 30 to 32 or so when the war started. It is not clear how many were actually built locally in total but it would appear that perhaps they did not build all of the 62 that were planned.

See also here:
http://britishaviation-ptp.com/avro_tutor.html

which details the A. V Roe orders and also discusses the licence built aircraft and includes this footnote on the Greek built Tutors:

Quote:
Little is known of Greek production. Hellenic Air Force history [3] quotes "In December of 1939, 59 Avro 621 were available. In the same month, 30 more airplanes were undere(sic) production at the National Airplane Factory. The production line pace was about 7 airplanes per month." Photographic evidence exists showing at least serials E106 and E140. Four presumed ex-RHAF aircraft were impressed as HK833 - HK835 and HK853 to contract (or file or req. no.?) 2AX 9464
