Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of a Nakajima B5N at:

The camera angle is not ideal,but it looks like the tail marking may be that of the Kasumigaura Kokutai.

Hello,


Currently on ebay are photos of two JNAF floatplanes:


Nakajima E4N2

Nakajima E8N


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284492342...sAAOSwyMlhbCth


The E4N2 shown appears to be in prewar markings,but is anyone aware of either E4N2 or E4N2-C still operating in the home islands as trainers post 1941?

Based on what can be seen I believe it may be J-BEOD which according to

http://www.airhistory.org.uk/gy/reg_J-3.html was a converted G3M1. The information from the site I have is my total knowledge of this machine,so I'd like to ask did it ever pass back into Navy service with the onset of the Pacific War?

Hello,


Arguably I could have posted this on the prewar board,but I thought that possibly more interest might be found on this board. Currently there is a photo of two JNAF flying boats, a Supermarine Seagull in the foreground and a Supermarine Channel in the background at I believe :

What do you make of the digits under the wing of the Seagull?
Looks like '96' to me. The single Seagull supplied to Japan is not identified in the Putnam book.

These early Supermarine flying boats always makes me uncomfortable.
Japan received three Channels, as per the Supermarine book, again none identified.

I have to see if I can find something more in other books. Too tired now....

Cheers
