Photo Voisin

[musec04]

Hello,


Currently on ebay at:


https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Aviation-pho...AAAOSwttFed2ve


is a photo of a Voisin aircraft captioned as a type 10. However it appears to bear serial V1748 on the tailplane. At least looking at :


http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escad...ete_Voisin.htm


the serial would seem more appropriate to a type 8, but I'm no expert!
So any assistance with the ID gratefully received.


Also, I prefer if possible not to post reproductions, but not sure about my french Tirage Originel = original or not?


Regards,


Clint

I agree Clint

Serial belongs to a Voisin VIII

Hi Stig,


Thanks for the reply. While I must stop spending, are you aware of any publications with more complere serial lists than the one I linked to?


Regards,


Clint

No I am not

The Avions Voisin book is very much lacking in such details, so if you want serial numbers, that book is not what you are after.

Cheers

Hello

May be escadrille 481 :

The plane has what looks like a Salmson liquid cooled engine, so Voisin 5 probably

Hello Jean,


Well certainly the chevrons are not unlike those of V481, but reading the text on the Albindenis site, the LBP machines were cannon armed and V.1354 is not. I also believe checking images that the cockpit layout of the LBP is significantly different to that of the V.1354. I'll defer to you on the engine I can't tell from the machine in my link the type of engine used.

Hello

Before the type 8, Escadrille 481 had Voisin Type 5, and the serial number of the plane seems too low for type 8

Hello Jean,


I agree with you on that. Failing the emergence of further information I think we can definitely say a type 5. Were there no other Voisin type 5 operators with chevron markings?
