Well, gents, it is difficult to assess precisely as the French ceased to record anything from June 10th on. They had other things to do.
Many ground losses were simply damaged aircraft left over during the retreat southwards and captured by the Germans. You only have to look at the photographs they took on the airfields they overran, in particular at Bordeaux-Mérignac and Aulnat, to see that they put their hands on hundreds, not to say thousands, of aircraft of all types (ranging from heavy four-engined bombers to light liaison planes). In which column must they be sorted out? Are they "ground losses" strictly speaking? The 200+ Morane 406s the Germans captured at Aulnat were damaged aircraft awaiting to be repaired by the AIA. Most of them had been damaged in combat. Thus they are "double losses", once in the sky, the second time on the ground...

I am not sure the figures given by the HQ are quite reliable.
The French have never known how many planes they lost and never will. It would be reasonnable to count by difference, but...
1) debates are still raging over the number of aircraft impressed into service!
2) as for the inventory made in July 1940 of the remaining planes in the non-occupied zone in France and in North Africa, it's a complete non-sense.
As we put it in French, we count them with a "soup-laddle", which means that we don't expect any precise figure.
