Confess I have not read anything about that Russian detective.
Sounds like he is pretty good....
I only have DH.5 references in the usual listings from the net, and it says nothing about the demise of A9356. From your own files or have you spotted something I don't know anything about?
I have not gone through the loss lists just for this one. Is that from where you got it?
The second album was also very nice. Enjoyed to look over the photos more closely.
The Parnall built Avro B8681 is, or at least was a model J (the whole 200 aircraft batch built by P were J models). No doubt some were mod later to Ks but if that is what we see, I cannot say.
The Bristol Fighter is B1106 which is known to have been in use by 59TS at Yatesbury.
The Morane-Saulnier type AC is an incredible enigma.
It was only built in 30 examples and was never supplied to either RFC or RAF and the only reason for it to be in Britain must have been for some unknown (to me) testing purposes.
Even more strange is the tiny serial number on the fin, which the photographer has managed to obscure with an an incredible skill in positioning. Hats off to that!
Looks like it starts with C13 or something which makes no sense unless it, for some reason, is an engine number.
Some of the "Bullets" supplied to RFC had engine numbers which ended with the letter C.
No, I need something better than that, but right now I draw a blank on what it could be....
Cheers
