Re: French H-75A-4 aircraft

Hello Alex,

BB924 (1) ? (not listed in Air Britain listing but listed in Air Britain Lend lease)

and...
HK823 is not from the French contract.
may be an ex-French, escaped from AOF (Sgt Milan)
delivered to FAFL.
AOF = Afrique Orientale Française
FAFL = Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres

In fact, my list is one wrong and yours without BB924 seems ok :
219 total
less 5 Norway
less 9 Persia
less 1 unknow
Total = 204 (which is the number found in British and French archives)

I still have to verify all this in PRO if I can find the individual file for each aircraft.

Regards,
Olivier Bacca.
