The ‘6’ on the Bleriot tail – does that indicate CFS6 that served at CFS Point Cook 1914-1917?

Not sure but will ask.Does sound plausible though.Bleriot was built my Peter White our assistant curator,who has already started his next project..

Wow, thanks for that Qld Spitty. Looks good. What with the MAAF Boxkite and RAAFM Deperdusin, a lot of the earliest types are being covered. Now we need a BE2a.
