Captured Dh Moth
Hello every body
I would like to know if one you know in wich book the picture below was published, or best, where i can find a Hd scan...
It's, no surprise, a DH Leopard Moth captured by the Lutwaffe at Bordeaux Airfield late june 1940...
I really like to find it because i am preparing an article about the french unit who fly this kind of british plane in may/june 1940.
Anyway if you know/have picture of moth family (Leopard, Hornet, Tiger) in the same state (captured somewhere in France) it would be a great surprise :-)
Big big thanks for your help...

Matt Comas

Re: Captured Dh Moth
I am afraid it is not a DH but a Caudron 282/2 PHALENE, c/n6840.65 F-AMST

Re: Captured Dh Moth
Hello
Yes, it's not a DH but a Caudron
Anyway very very interesting
This plane was property of Aero Club de Dieppe and then of Marcel Legendre /Bois-Obert
After requisition the only thing i know is thaht he was driven to Nevers by French DALAC in march 1940

Thanks ;-)

Matt

Re: Captured Dh Moth
i do not think so
GM+Os is most probably ex french one.
This one is in unit.
Planes in Bordeaux, like the Leopard below, only received cross on fuselage and wings.

Anyway, big big thanks for your research :-)

Re: Captured Dh Moth
There also was the Belgian Leopard Moth OO-GEJ captured by the Geramans in 1940, but then at Montpellier...
