Andy
The visible codes on these aircraft are not their No. Code 7 was for instance No 23 Code 10 was No 11 I have no corresponding No for code 13 There is an extremely expensive book published about the Caudron fighters, but so far I cannot afford it. Too much else I need to buy instead. After all the CR.714 was a very minor type and achieved very little. Cheers Stig |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Thanks Bertrand
Does the author also give the second Caudron c/n No? I notice you (he) only seems to identify them by the company's main c/n line. Cheers Stig |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
I see
As you are no doubt aware there are two "schools" in France One claims the production aircraft were c/n 8533/1 to 8616/84 (Mihaly/Robinson + Internet site) and the other c/n 8533/2 to 8616/85 (Hauet) The "Ghost in the Machinery" is of course the prototype c/n 7875/01 and the "million dollar question" was 01 followed by No 1 or No 2? Pity Belcarz does not want to choose side. That itself makes me actually less interested in his book. Cheers Stig |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
7 was the code of the aircraft in the unit, not the c/n.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi Ed,
Nice find with that second photo. A Fleet Air Arm Skua, L3048 'B', of 803 Squadron. It was force-landed intact in Norway on 25 April 1940, but later destroyed. There are other photos of it, but I have not seen this one before. Note that 'Oslo' is printed on the back of the photo. Regards, Martin Gleeson. |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi Martin,
I had faint hope that this aircraft would be identified with just the letter B. Thank you for the additional information. Best, Ed |
