    This looks like one of the batch of Grumman G-36 Wildcats produced for the French Navy (1939-1940?) and taken over Britain when France fell...no wing-folding apparently, and this one has civil markings NX-G1 for test flying in the USA?

    Is it possible to see the Bu No on the original? Bu No 2527?? And what about the code 42-F-something? Stig
  • SDASM Archives said:
    Stig Jarlevik Actually might be 2627
  • Stig Jarlevik said:
    Thanks again Yes 2627 looks more likely Stig

    BuNo 2627 was an N3N-3, which became civil N45046. This is probably F4F-3 BuNo 2527 (VF-42) which was possibly lost May 4-8, 1942, in the Battle of the Coral Sea.

    You are correct Batman Even though 2627 looks better it can't be as you correctly point out this was a N3N-3, so Bu 2527 it has to be. Forgot to double check.... Stig
