Thumbs up Re: French in the FE

Hello,

Thanks to you all for the leads given.

From the old Profile number 147
"The Chinese ordered 12 Moranes (No. 1074 - 1085 ) in 1938and these were produced by SNCAO.
The aircraft reached Haiphong, but there they were seized to form Escadrille EC2, which fought against the Japanese and Thais in December 1940.
Despite the death of test pilot Mikenas in the MS405-01 on 8th December 1937 at Villacoublay, Lithuania ordered 13 aircraft ( Nos. 1074 - 86 ). They were never delivered."

I assume that the Lithuanian ones were the ones that were sent to the French in the Far East ?

So then what became of the last 1086, where did she go and what became of her ?

Thanks again

Alex
