Wellington Mk. IC L7842 KXoT from 311. Sq (Czechoslovakian).

Sometimes, when the serial number is not visible, this machine is confused with another captured machine of this unit - L7788 KXoE, but you can recognize them by the bottom black border on the fuselage - KXoT has small ripples, KXoE has large ripples.

For compare:

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Its either an Amiot 351 or 354

I am not good enough to see the difference. No number visible on the fin, unfortunately

Cheers

Yeahh, I wish... :)

Truth is, it just works now and then

Cheers

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Hi Stig. The 351 had twin-tails, the 354 a single fin/rudder; the 354 was very similar to the Nakajima "Frances". I believe one or two 351s were re-configuered with single tails.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Indeed Nick

I was lazy and didn't check my notes or Googled it. Memory is not always that reliable.
Still have problems walking so I never bothered checking my books either....:o

Sorry about that
Cheers

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Hi Stig, Buckeye30 and all who are interesting,

this is, from my point of view, issue with some French bombers - twin-tails or single fin/rudder, nearly same plane, but who don´t know it, for him different :-)

For this type, nice collection of photo and look at the name of topic: Amiot 351-354

#2671_1 : Breguet 270 n°7 of Section avions de sondages n° 1 ; Auxerre, june 1940

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

#1 looks like it could be L5503/QT-L of 142 Sqn, lost on 23 August 1940.
One crew member was killed, the other two made POW.
