Re: Details of French planes interned in Spain
Hi Robert
What is your sources? Reason I am asking is that for example
LeO 451 No 388 was not accepted by the French until 10.7.1940. It also has a French record after 25.6.1940 when it belonged to both II/31 and later I/31.
LeO 451 No 393 lacks any acceptance date but is stated to have been "lost" on 20.6.1940
(See Cuny/Danel: LeO 45, Amiot 350 et autre B4)
The MB 174 was initially abandoned in a damaged state at Nangis, but was miraculusly repaired before capture by the Germans and flown out on 13.6.1940. However it was lost at Minorque on the 23.6.1940 when it no doubt tried to reach North Africa. The aircraft was still in Spain as late as 1.9.1942 (See Le Bloch 174 et ses derivés by Jacques Moulin)
Cheers
