Hi all,
In my reply to N°1, I told that the 20 German Si 204 of the "armée de l'air" included those given by the RAF. It's a mistake : there were 21 planes in German standards (N° 1000 to 1020) and the RAF gave 35 Si 204 Ds which were added to the number of "armée de l'air" Siebels.
There were 350 NC 701/702 "Martinet" produced but we find numerals out of sequence which may be either wrong transcriptions or the last digits of German
Werknummern.
A photo of a Si 204 D in German standards (N° 1005, actually the 6th Si 204 D produced by the SCAN at Bourges) on 9 January 1950. This photo was given to me by an "old timer" :
Siebel 204 and NC 701/702 in French AA :
And some pictures found in documents which were to be
destroyed...
NC 701 "Martinet I", N° 14, with German engines but with French instrumentation :
Siebel 204 and NC 701/702 in French AA :
Other "Martinet I" on an unknown airfield, but I guess that was Avord :
