Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Paul,
Re. #1709. I'm out of my depth here dealing with French aircraft but that second wreck is also a MS.406. Right now I am looking at a copy of the AVIONS Hors-Serie No. 24 'La Debacle de mai-juin 1940' by Denes Bernad, Christophe Cony and Michel Ledet. It is a softback publication with captions in French and English devoted to photographs of wrecked or abandoned French aircraft, all taken by German soldiers during and after the campaign.
I think there are two photos of the near Morane on page 21. The location is Cambrai airfield after it was abandoned on 17 May 1940. The aircraft is identified as No. 918 '2' of GC III/2 and the pilot was a Lt. Lechat.
Regards,
Martin.
