Re: Photo DH.85 Leopard Moth TD+IL?

Hi


I along with Stig alerted Malcolm Filmore (expert on DH 85) to the existance of this pghoto
He offers an alternastive to F-AMYS as follows:_


c/n 7094 (Gipsy Major #5941) CofA 4712 issued 4.3.35 to JEF de Kok. Regd PH-FDK [CofR 217] 12.3.35 to JEF de Kok, [director of Royal Dutch Shell], The Hague (based Waalhaven). Regd 7.9.37 to NV National Luchtvaart School, Ypenburg. Impressed into LVA as 963 9.39. Badly damaged in bombing Ypenburg 10.5.40; regn cld 7.9.40. On rebuild by NLS 8.40-4.41. Shipped to Germany 5.41.

So it was 963 with Dutch Forces, it should also be noted that TD+IL was also issued to Go 241A-1 021 so my question is can anyone say what was the build date for the Go 242?

Tony
