1940 - scrapyard of No.21 Aircraft Depot at Chateau Bougon
 

Hi all,

is there somebody who is interesting in the scrapyard of No.21 Aircraft Depot at Chateau Bougon and try match all wreck s there with their serial numbers?

I´m interesting mainly in Hawker Hurricane on this scrapyard - there P2959 without wings and another Hurri without wings and without engine.

Thanks

Faenor

Maybe it might be worth re-visiting this thread.
Combining, with the info above with some of my own, we get:

Bristol Blenheim
L9190 53 Sqn

Fairey Battle
K9201 VO-M 98 Sqn
K9202 VO-B 98 Sqn (recorded as such, but I seem to have code as N)
K9218 VO-J 98 Sqn
K9254 218 Sqn
K9327 218 Sqn
K9348 88 Sqn
K9441 88 Sqn
K9452 98 Sqn
L4948 142 Sqn
L5436 QT-F 142 Sqn (only marked F on one side)
L5462 RH-G (or E) 88 Sqn – confirmation of code anyone?
N2150 PH-Y 12 Sqn
P2190 GB-X 105 Sqn
P5238 QT-X 142 Sqn (recorded as such, but photos seem to show it being uncoded?)

Hawker Hurricane
L1757 1 Sqn
L1974 1 Sqn
N2381 LE-X 242 Sqn
P2540 87 Sqn
P2559 17 Sqn (confirmation anyone?) - it was SOC on 1 Jul 40, annotated as missing. Does anyone have any idea of what actually happened to it?
P2959 SD-R 501Sqn (recorded as such, but photos seem to show it being uncoded?)
P3045 1 Sqn –
P3683 242 Sqn
P3779 242 Sqn

Codes highlighted in bold are photo-proven.
Further input very welcome.
