Re: Farman F.393 F-ANFS
Hello Clint,
I can't be certain but based on similar photos I've seen, it may be that some Aero Club aircraft were stored in the same hangars as military aircraft. Best, Ed |

Re: Farman F.393 F-ANFS
Hi Ed,
Thanks for the reply. I hadn't looked at the link I posted to F-AMTE when I asked the question. Given that F-AMTE was with a section d'avions sanitaires, possibly F-ANFS was too? Regards, Clint |

The location of the wrecked Farman's is Etampes - not far from Paris - I think

In my opinion the roundels show the aircraft to have been impressed by the French armed forces. Exactly when this happened is unknown by me and sadly it is a very neglected topic researched. Both France and England basically followed the same "rules", ie forbidding private flying and at the same time impressing as many civil aircraft as possible. Aircraft more or less useless for military purposes were then stored. Cheers Stig |

Re: Farman F.393 F-ANFS
Hi Stig,
Yes, I agree. I think given the date, I would think it likely that (tempting fate here) that almost any french aircraft with civil codes and roundels is likely to be an impressed machine. Regards, Clint |

Re: Farman F.393 F-ANFS
The question is, if they were impressed, I think the purpose for doing so would be established first. I mean, depending on the type, was it reconnaissance, liaison transport or something else?
