Standing on its nose is another Hurricane whose swastika appears to have weathered considerably while no serial is visible. The emblem looks like a stylised gibbet and is repeated on the tail. Or it could be in Chinese!

An Oxford of the Portuguese Air Force. Again, no serial is visible. A number of Oxfords were supplied during World War Two but were replaced as twin-engined trainers by Ansons in the post-war years as the latter were easier to maintain than the wooden Oxfords.

Lined up at Issy-les-Moulineaux, Paris, are Goelands and Simouns for Armee de l'Air training schools, some in camouflage. Presumably in 1939 but more precise details would be welcome. Post-war, Issy became the main Paris heliport. Not having seen it since around 1963, presumably it is now even more hemmed in by buildings.

Reprinted from Royal Air Force Aircraft HA100 - HZ999 is this photograph of Martinet HP413 with a very nonstandard fairing. So far we have received no comment while the reference books do not appear to mention this and it is assumed it was for aerodynamic testing of a raised instructor's cockpit for the Martinet Trainer. Ideas are welcome.
