Регистрационный номер: D-ESEL, F-BBMY, VN787 "D-ESEL" displayed at Berlin has been identified as Bucker built Bu 181C-2 c/n 501659 which was captured by British forces 5.45 and carried RAF serial VN787. There is still an obvious gap in its history between 1946 and the 1980s. Keith Palmer comments that all RAF Bestmann are believed to have been handed over to the French Government for flying club use, in which case it was probably given a "new" FR-..? c/n and an F-B... registration. Any ideas?
Further to our notes on "D-ESEL" on p.90/27, Philippe Couderchon has provided notes and a photo to fill in the missing history. After capture VN787 c/n 501659 was given to the French (one of 114 in total) and received CoA no. 18589 on 9.6.49 as F-BBMY, French c/n FR.38, with AC de l'Aisne at St Quentin. Cld at the end of 1952, it was preserved at the CAMA store, 52 rue Dachery, St Quentin until 1980, without engine and painted yellow and red. It was bought for 20.000FF by Joachim Hahn of West Berlin 11.80, thence to the museum.Самолёты на фотографии: Bucker Bu.181 Bestmann - Германия - 1939
