I assume that someone has taken a look at the DGAC website. I haven’t yet, but I’ll do so tomorrow unless someone else does so in the meantime!

Without wishing to sound pompous, it’s necessary to know a little of how the French civil aircraft register works before the DGAC website will serve you as an effective research tool. Firstly, as Laurence says, you need to know whether you are looking just for aircraft currently on the register (inscrit) or those now deleted from it (radié). Secondly entering the aircraft manufacturer (constructeur) will not necessarily reveal all the aircraft produced by it which are or were on the register. Often the restorer of a restored aircraft will register himself as the constructor . Thus searching against the aircraft type (modèle de aéronef) produces a more reliable result. However you have to be very precise as to what you enter. For example if, as in this case, you enter D.H.82A or Tiger Moth, it will tell you that there are none presently or formerly on the register. You have to enter DH 82 A to get a positive result. Thirdly not always will the previous identity of the aircraft be recorded but frequently a previous military identity will appear as the construction number (Nº serié).

By entering DH 82 A against modèle de aéronef and ticking the inscrit box, five French registered Tiger Moths appear. These are

F-AZPP (RAF serial not recorded)
F-PMDS (RAF serial recorded as T7400)

Both of these aircraft are recorded as their restorers, rather than de Havilland, being the manufacturer

F-AZTM (RAF serial recorded as DF210)
F-AZEI (RAF serial recorded as T6553)
F-GTBO (construction number recorded as 3810, which may be the RAF serial number, less than prefix letter, or the true DH c/n)

These are recorded against de Havilland as the manufacturer.

Unless it is F-AZPP (try googling this registration to see if that reveals its RAF serial), none of these are the Tiger Moth for which you are searching, David. However that does not mean that N6665 is not lurking somewhere in France. However if it isn’t one of the five above and hasn’t been on the French register (which presumably are the other 155 through which you are going, David!), then you’ve got a difficult search on your hands and I suspect that the web won’t help you with it. Nonetheless, I wish you the best of luck!

p.s. it seems that F-AZPP is not the aircraft for which you are looking as the photos online show it carrying the RAF serial T8857

Too easy, Groundhugger. It’s a SIPA MiniJet!

I don’t play this game – but since you’re talking about KZ-IIs, here’s one from my collection!

Oh well, I doubt that this will last long!

Sorry, Groundhugger, it’s not one of those either. However both you and John Aeroclub are in the right country and have basically the correct wing arrangement. But if you look carefully, this one has ailerons rather than an all moving wing.

…………..and it’s not one of those either. I really didn’t think that this obscure aeroplane – even though it’s an obscure French aeroplane – would stump everyone, especially as it was being advertised for sale on eBay only last month! If it’s time for me to give more clues, let me know.

Hello
Can you tell us the year of it, please?
It is not the Durand et Delaville RB-01 Beauregard…?

That’s another one which it isn’t! This “wot plane” was designed in the 1950s (although its lineage goes back to the 1930s) but its construction wasn’t started until the late 1980s with the first flight taking place in 2003. It’s number 1 in a construction run of one!
