Photo Gourdou-Leseurre GL.432?
Hello,
Could someone please advise if the aircraft shown at: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Q503-Foto-We...oAAOSwNKRehju4 is a Gourdou-Leseurre GL.432? I mean specifically BA 22. Thanks for any assistance. Regards, Clint |

Correct Clint
The other two aircraft visible are Morane 230. Since they are coded BA I dont understand what they are doing in Brest since that code belonged to Béarn, but if Lucien spots this, he will of course give both chapter and verse Cheers Stig |

Hi Stig,
Thanks. I assumed the code was for the Béarn. I know the seller captioned the photos as Brest and I certainly can't say that is incorrect as I've no idea, but might he have wrongly thought it was Briest because of the BA codes? Where was the home port of the Béarn btw? Guess I should look that up. Regards, Clint |

Hi Clint
Yes Bertrand is correct, the aircraft from Béarn were shore based in late 1939. Not sure that all of them went to Lanvéoc though. From Lucien's books, it seems the GL.432 'BA22' was No 1. The Cours de perfectionnement only had one.... Cheers Stig |
