Re: Monoplane ID Needed
Clint/Col/Geoff
Finally got access to my Morane book by Lacaze
Yes it is a Morane alright but not a type G. This version was called Type VR and WR (it evolved from the even more obscure Le Triplace de Rebikoff.
The Russian Navy bought four Type WR and one Type VR.
One photo in the book clearly shows the extra nose section I mentioned before and also the added fin. It also has the strengthened undercarriage.
Except possibly for some prototypes this model was not used in France at all.
The listed Morane c/n all went to the Russian Navy.
Sorry about my earlier ramblings....
Cheers
Stig
