Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Anyone who can identify this one?
Looks like F-AODP but it certainly is no Caudron 640....
Cheers
Stig

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

It is a DH 60 possible G Type - and the reg is F-AODP. I have no further details as to identity but the De Havilland expert Malcolm Fillmore might be able to.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Thanks Tom

F-AODP is listed as a Caudron 640 on the French civil register.
I have checked Malcolm's DH-60 data, no F-AODP in it, not even as an unidentified one.

Hello,

DH 82A Tiger Moth.
(c/n. 1993)
G-ACPS/F-AQDP - DeH Technical School built.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Thanks Col

I checked F-AQDP as well, but the problem is I don't see much of a DH-82 in there.
While the upper wing pair seems to have a slight sweep back, the lower wing pair seems very straight to me.

But again I am incredibly lousy at identifying wrecks, so I have to consider it as a possibility.
BTW I have asked Malcolm for his opinion.

Thanks again Col, I always appreciate your opinions
Cheers
Stig

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Col was spot on

Malcolm confirms this is the Tiger Moth F-AQDP

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Well if nobody already discovered it, this is a Swedish B 17 (SAAB not Boeing) which is about to take
a trip from Visby to Halmstad, or so it says on the back side.

I suppose there is nowhere else to put it then here but perhaps an off topic
flag would have been OK? :)

As usual the seller is way off in his description of the photo.....

Post 2776 /1
Spitfire of 403 Sqdn AB799.
shot down Abbeville on sweep nr Le Touquet 2-6-42 FH106:20 Sgt NE Hunt (RCAF) PoW.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Hi Alex and all,

I have it like AB799 and with codes KHoJ and not U?

Faenor

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Must be finger trouble from Alex

AB799 seems spot on to me.

Cheers
Stig

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

I don't think there is any doubt from the photo that the code was KH-U.
The ORB is again in error.
It lists Sgt Hunt as flying twice on 2 June:
AA979 up 0625
AR439 up 1000
AR439 was not delivered to the sqn until the following day, being lost on 19 August 1942. I can only assume that it was the next wearer of code KH-U (a common problem encountered with ORBs).

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Hi Stig,
Not finger trouble this time :)
But The code to me looks like either -
KH ⊙ U
OR
KH⊙D

Serial number AB799, just looked like AD to me BUT it couldn't be as AD799 was a Hampden :)
Alex

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Stig, Alex, AndyMa - I have more examples, when we have typo - U and J is close to the keyboard and maybe this is the reason.

Have a nice day and enjoy the research :-)

GB-X is P2190 of 105 Sqn
F is L5436 of 142 Sqn - the QT part of the code was only worn on one side.

AK595, 112 Sqdn

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

It would be interesting to know what actually happened to this aircraft.
It was Permanently Struck Off Charge (PSOC) on 1 Jan 47, which usually shows paperwork catching up with events long afterwards.
Has anyone accessed the 112 Sqn ORBs for 1942 to see if they offer any clues?
