Re: RAF units over Madagascar
Hello Peter
thanks for answer. I find recently a article on "Fana de l'aviation" speaking about Hurricane.They were located on Diégo-Suarez (andrakaka airfield) Airfield and used by the 1568 meteo flight.After The british departure, they were given to the french air forces. If you know them serial number and the type, I will be very happy. Regards Franck
