Re: Photo Nieuport

Stig,


I've looked at A6844 & B6844 and they are a MF.11 and Spad S.XIII respectively. As indicated I'm never really that trusting of my eyesight,but still read 8844. Having looked at the various options so far, I think I'd be correct when I say that in any event according to http://www.airhistory.org.uk/rfc/Nieuport.html has a serial where the first two digits is 68 higher than B6837 so a reconstructed aircraft looks probable, unless serial wrongly applied. So I do wonder about airhistory.orgs id of B.E.2c B8844, but I guess a photo would be required.


Regards,


Clint

Re: Photo Nieuport

Thanks for checking Clint

The mystery deepens.
I suppose you don't have the Nieuport book published by C&C?

I have now blown up the image as far as I can. Of course lacking the enhancement
computer systems of the CIA and MI6 I have to settle with eyeball vision only...
First letter seems to be an A, so what about A6644?

Will check out the book when back home.

Cheers
Stig
