Photo Nieuport

[Stig Jarlevik]

You're right

It says 21 on the fin.
So it goes when you only look at the serial number.

No idea why a Type 21 would use such a high number.

Hi Stig,


You don't have to tall me about the perils of identifying an aircraft by looking at the serial numbers, there are one or two examples, at least in this thread alone where I've done precisely that

Hello,


Currently on delcampe is a photo of a Nieuport 14 at:

The serial is hard to read, but based on the stars on the wheel covers and the roman numeral X on the fuselage VB 102 may possibly be the unit of the aircraft shown.

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo album largely featuring land war based photos. However, there is a rather nice photo of a shot up Nieuport 23 B1651 of 29 Squadron RFC at:

I feel like I've seen this photo somewhere before (?) Does anyone know the unit operating the Nieuport?
