Re: Captured RAF aircraft, ebay auction
 

Re Stig's picture. The "4" looks to me to be oddly a hard looking number between other soft looking numbers, so my opinion is that this picture has been doctored to make it look like it is N6143, I repeat, it is only my opinion. No offence implied Stig, perhaps you've been sold a pup?
Then again it could be a photo taken post WW2 at a Navy a/c dump, but the number"4" still seems odd to me.

Good Lord no Alex

No offence taken of course. We're in the same boat here, and your suggestion is interesting. As mentioned I am away from my library and every one who has followed me also knows I am a bit, should we say, handicapped when it comes to Mr Google, so I cannot check anything really.

I won't say aloud what I feel against people who doctor photos, but it is not very nice, rest assured about that....:)

Yes I have the same photo as you show, but I am pretty certain it is actually N6153 and not N5153.

Well Bertrand
You may after all come out on top here. :)

Cheers

Hello Stig,
Re your last post.
The responce to Kaiyan'ssuggestion about N5153.
In fairness I think that it may have been a typo.

N5153 was an Anson.

Hi,

I have any knowledges about the Fleet Air Arm aircraft and I do not know how were these codes.

What we can see on that photo of this Blenheim is the base of the two codes letters and I guess an R and a T or K and I...

What did the Blenheims of FAA had ?

TIA
