Re: French Aircraft that escaped to Britain from June 1940
Alex: can you confirm about Britain sending French aircraft to the Middle East? My understanding was that those in the ME had defected from Syria. Given the problems of maintaining and supporting such exotica, it seems unlikely to me that they would go to all the trouble of crating them up and sending them elsewhere.
Though there could always be exceptions for special purposes: Late 293s for agent deliveries, Lucioles for delivering fast talkers to convince outposts to surrender (or not, as the case may be).
