Possibly 6379 with unit in 1918 ?? We've said before about French "3" and "5" !

Hi Nick,


Very much taking on board your comments about the problem with numerals 3 & 5 I believe you may well be correct with 6379. Having said that I do have some Spad S.XI serials in the 65** range as well as 63**.

Hello,


Currently on ebay there is a photo of a crashed Spad of, I believe, SPA.98 at:


https://www.ebay.de/itm/185218835487...EAAOSw2OJhvOym


As far as I'm aware all the usual areas allowing a differention of the type of Spad shown are not visible in this photo.I cant tell whether its a Spad S.VII or Spad S.XIII.Can anyone identify the type of aircraft shown?


Regards,


Clint

Not much help here I'm afraid, but if you look at the flip side of the photo there is a date listed, 7.6.1917

The text is extremely fuzzy so not even tried to understand what it says.
No idea, of course, who wrote the date, ie if it is contemporary or done by some collector afterwards.

But if the date is correct SPA 98 is wrong since that unit was not created, as N 98, until 1 Jan 1918.

Cheers
