Hi all, looks like some depo with US machines delivered to France (DB-7 aka Boston and H-75 Hawk and all look like "delivered")?

Do you have more info about place and machines?

Thank you
Faenor

How usual was it to have a number on the center of the roundel as the DB-7 has ?

Thanks Ed. Does anyone know the serial of this Battle please? (PM-X of 103 Sqn)

[Martin Gleeson]

Hi Andy,

The serial of that wreck in K9372, lost on 10 May 1940. It is actually one of the most photographed Battle wrecks, as it was located just beside a road.
However, I have never seen any evidence that it had the individual aircraft letter 'X'. Any idea where that came from ?

Regards,

Martin.

If the two photos show the same aircraft (which looks very likely - same damage etc),
you can see a very clear X on the first photo, taken from its starboard side.

Previously it has been listed as PM-K but I will certainly go for PM-X at this point

Cheers
Stig
