Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of an engineless Dorand AR-1 at:

Unusual is the date on the nose of the aircraft.

I'm not to sure about the unit insignia AR 230 perhaps?

Hello

Yes, it's the insignia of the AR 230.

The plane is named "Lulu", but I can not find further information based on that.

Hello,


Currently on ebay are two photos of Dorand AR-1 aircraft at :

https://www.ebay.fr/itm/313609893365...QAAOSww3pg9t4Z


The first machine was flown by AR.22,but the second machine, serial number 81 is more tricky.Can anyone identify the markings.

Indeed very tricky Clint

The only unit I could locate using such a divided pennant was Esc 12, but they never used
any AR types.

Sorry

Hi Stig,


Thanks for the reply.I have been looking through units known to have operated the AR.1 and while I I fear it is probably not significant, Albin Denis' page for AR16 has a photo of an AR.1 with the same diagonal band as the one on ebay,but no sign of the two coloured pennon, so may not be relevant.


Regards,


Clint
