Hi Clint

Most of the photos this time are pretty indifferent to me.
The Bre 14s that I can see are all from BR 11 (Cocotte Rouge)

Probably the Caudrons seen on other photos are also from this unit when it was called C 11. (Don't believe BR 123 ever used Caudrons)

No idea from where the seller gets his BR 123 and that Nungesser should be involved with it. Seems he has basically labelled all his items more or less the same way.

Cheers
Stig

Hello Stig,


Yes, I shouldn't have just accepted the seller's information.


At least one of the pictures is Nungesser's Nieuport, but seemingly no Br1123 connection at all. I kind of wonder if in fact the reference is to a serial number of a Breguet 14 that can't be sEen in the photo.

Does anyone recognise the unit emblem?

Hello,


Currently on ebay there is a nice photo of a Breguet AG 4 with a Deperdussin in the background at:

Can anyone read the Breguet's serial number? BR.53 appears logical, at least I don't think its BR.52

Hello Clint
At first glance, escadrille 228, BR 228 from July 1918.

Herllo,


Currently on ebay is a prewar photo of a Breguet operated by the RFC at:


https://www.ebay.fr/itm/RPPC-AVIATIO...0AAOSwM2ZezNkR


I'm not sure which type is shown as the RFC operated several before WW.I.

This early type of the Breguet biplane came in many shapes and most of all different engines.

I checked my military RFC photos/pics and cannot see any of them looking quite like this. Possibly even a civil aircraft....

Stig,


Here one that definitely did serve with the RFC Breguet L.2 serial 212 at:

Not sure if its original or not, a certain watch maker can make checking images on the net a bit challenging.
