French AF Bloch 152
 

Gents

Can anyone out there assist with unit and any further information on a Bloch 152 C No.50. Aircraft was marked with a white 10 on the tail fin, but I am unable to find any further information on the aircraft

Regards and TIA

Bonjour,

To all probability that you are speaking of the Bloch number 506 (the 6 is hard to see on the red painted part of the rudder).

There are regulary photos of this bellied plane to sell on ebay. The number 10 is painted on the tail (the outside of the number zero has a rectangular shape)

Thanks for the info, sounds like the aircraft, hard to see the last 6 of the serial as there are some small branches covering parts of the fin and rudder.
