Re: Captured RAF aircraft, ebay auction

Re Stig's picture. The "4" looks to me to be oddly a hard looking number between other soft looking numbers, so my opinion is that this picture has been doctored to make it look like it is N6143, I repeat, it is only my opinion. No offence implied Stig, perhaps you've been sold a pup?
Then again it could be a photo taken post WW2 at a Navy a/c dump, but the number"4" still seems odd to me.

Good Lord no Alex

No offence taken of course. We're in the same boat here, and your suggestion is interesting. As mentioned I am away from my library and every one who has followed me also knows I am a bit, should we say, handicapped when it comes to Mr Google, so I cannot check anything really.

I won't say aloud what I feel against people who doctor photos, but it is not very nice, rest assured about that....

Kaiyan
Yes I have the same photo as you show, but I am pretty certain it is actually N6153 and not N5153.

Well Bertrand
You may after all come out on top here.

Cheers
Stig

Hello Stig,
Re your last post.
The responce to Kaiyan'ssuggestion about N5153.
In fairness I think that it may have been a typo.

N5153 was an Anson.

Re: Captured RAF aircraft, ebay auction

Hi,

I have any knowledges about the Fleet Air Arm aircraft and I do not know how were these codes.

What we can see on that photo of this Blenheim is the base of the two codes letters and I guess an R and a T or K and I...

What did the Blenheims of FAA had ?

TIA

Bertrand
