Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi Ed,
Thanks for the links. # 978; link 5, according to the book Avions Hors-série n°33 L’Aéronautique Navale Française 1939-1940 [Vol. 2] by Lucien Morareau it is a Caudron Simoun of the Section d'Entrainement de Cherbourg. Profile of this a/c page 59 gives Caudron n°127 Bertrand |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
You're welcome Bertrand. For me, the mystery remains about French civil aircraft being stored at hangars with military aircraft. How many civil aircraft were impressed into service? Is there some reference to this in a French publication?
Best, Ed |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi Ed
I do not know the number of ex-French civil used as military aircraft but if we list the accidents did between 9/39 and 6/40 we have 75 a/c coded in F-axxx (Caudron C275 Luciole Caudron C510 Pélican Caudron C600 Aiglon Caudron Frégate Farman 190 Farman 403 P3 Hanriot 182 Hanriot 192 Léopard Moth Mauboussin 123 Morane 130 Morane 191 Morane-Saulnier 230 Phalène Potez 36 Potez 585 Potez 60 Salmson "Cri-Cri" Salmson D.2 "Phrygane". Most were requisitioned in early 9/39 I am afraid there are no books but the synthesis of good articles published in Avions magazine and/or some archives held on at Vincennes bring an overall situation Bertrand |

In this case it is not a civil aircraft as such. Both the French Air Force and Navy used large quantities of the Simoun, so this is not an impressed aircraft. One can of course question the value of ordering such vast quantities of basically liasion aircraft when the writing was more or less on the wall. Cheers Stig |
