MS.406 of N°2 French Fighter Flight (s/n AX674)

Morane-Saulnier MS.406 of N°2 French Fighter Flight (s/n AX674)

Jul - Sept 1940

The French Flight aircraft that served with 80 Sqn and later 274 Sqn retained their original camouflage and squadron insignia, while the French national markings were replaced by British markings. Serial numbers were issued, but apparently these were not carried. This particular aircraft still shows the insignia of GC I/7 1°escadrille. In addition, the underside wings are painted in the RAF black/white pattern.
