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

Hi


Coming back to the original theme DH 85 is the way the RLM dealt with c/n of foreign built a/c. Many Italian a/c were used as what the RLM put down as the c/n is nearly always the military MM serial, which in all cases was not the c/n

So if the had a DH 85 painted as 963 when they received it that would have been enough to call this the c/n


The photo noted by Clint shows w/n 96 that is just about readable so the 3 could also be there.


If it was F-AMYS they would have looked fpr the c/n which was 7069, on this basis I believe that Malcolm has found the correct a/c for TD+IL
