RAF or French aircraft id

[Johnnie]

I have a photo that shows a crashed aircraft from the side
and the front.

At first I though it might be a Beaufighter, however nI don't
think it is, and the markings appear to be French (I think).

I was wondering if I could email it to somebody who might
be able to identify the type.

Johnnie,

Why not post the picture on this forum?

I'm not sure how I post images. If I email it to somebody
could they post it (or could somebody tell me how to
post images).

Hello Johnnie,

You first have to put it on a site or weblog; then post a reply here, activate the yellowish button (with the mountain and sun) and enter the URL of this photo.

Ok. Thanks for that. I'm afraid I don't have a web log or site (and don't know how to do that kind of thing).

The size limit on this forum is 200 Kb. If you have a picture that's bigger in size, go to 1. If not, proceed to 2.

1.There is a software program called irfanview. You can download it for free here :
http://www.irfanview.com/

After installation, right-ckick you picture and select open with ...irfanview.
Select Image - Resize/Resample
Here you select 800 x 600 pixels.
Save this picture on your PC.

2.To post this picture here, just select "manage attachments" in the Additional Options box which you can see when you make a new post in this forum. (When you make a new post, scroll down to where it says "manage attachments"). Here you can upload your picture.

- It's best to always use the "Preview Post" function, when you upload a picture, just to make sure everything is OK.

- If the picture is to big in size, restart with irfranview and select 640x480 pixels.

Hope this might help,
Rudi.

Thanks for posting the image, and the aircraft type.

Is it possible to work out which unit it was serving with. I wasn't
sure if the 7 stood for a unit (I am not familiar with French Squadrons).
