French prototype colour schemes

[JC Carbonel]

Overall yellow is very unlikely ....although light blue and cream have been reported ...

Datation : these designs were reported in les Ailes just after the liberation so the thin white/black bands would be needed if the aircraft was to fly before the end of the war...and dark green would be quite mandatory.

Dark green : on this side of the Channel, the consensus seems to be that this "green" was left over German paint (hence RLM 70 or RLM 71 depending of what was available ...and remember the BV141 built in France which is reported in "pink" possibly a sand colour that rejected denazification ....


Early jets :
- in AFM you have the Payen-Melot PA22 jet

- I have begun compiling the archives for the Coanda 1910

- obviously the Aerodina lenticulare drom the same Coanda would be interesting but his 30's patent does not look like an aircraft more like a lab test rig


Wait a little (around April 2007 if everything works well) an you could have a plentifull of scratch subjects from an upcoming book (Ok many will look alike but some are sufficiently unusual to attract attention)...there is also another project for end of 2007 more centered o thirties-fourties (including VTOLs etc...)

Hope this help . Maybe we could talk about it at Telford ?
