tnx Ed ,

#1704_3 : same photo is page 152 in the book on GC III/3 (2019, LELA presse) ; it is n°171 abandoned at Romilly on 13/06/1940 by Sgt Claireaux.

I can only echo, great find.


#1 looks like UX-N, with the serial appearing to end in 2. Ideas anyone?
#7 QT-H of 142 Sqn also has me stumped.

Paul,

Re. #1709. I'm out of my depth here dealing with French aircraft but that second wreck is also a MS.406. Right now I am looking at a copy of the AVIONS Hors-Serie No. 24 'La Debacle de mai-juin 1940' by Denes Bernad, Christophe Cony and Michel Ledet. It is a softback publication with captions in French and English devoted to photographs of wrecked or abandoned French aircraft, all taken by German soldiers during and after the campaign.
I think there are two photos of the near Morane on page 21. The location is Cambrai airfield after it was abandoned on 17 May 1940. The aircraft is identified as No. 918 '2' of GC III/2 and the pilot was a Lt. Lechat.

Regards,

Martin.
