    Note to DazDaMan : I already said that the german insignia is removable;). Please can you tell us the law or rules numbers instead to say “I had read it somewhere…”

    Fantastic stuff! 🙂

    I’m surprised to see the ‘190 with the swastika – I thought it was a no-no for aircraft to display the swastika in France? :confused:

    The german insignia on the tail is removable.;)

    The first test of the new engine of Spitfire 19 of Christophe Jacquard at Dijon-Darois.

    Once these tests finished, the FW190 made some start and stop tests. I will post the photographs of FW190 later, if you want.

    Spitfire PR19 received a new engine and a new propeller.
    Christophe J. wanted to benefit from these changes to repaint his plane like fighter.
    The new decoration “is inspired” by Spitfire VIII and XIV of the 152 sqn.

    Pending the works on Focke Wulf, the maintenance of the SPITFIRE 19 began during the off season with inspection and NDT, which should be followed by a change of engine/propeller and a new painting.

    Just a quick question for you araman. How come they have not all migrated to the F-AZ series of registrations like all the other historic warbirds in France? Not picking fault with that, just curious.

    I think owners prefer the CNRA registration to flight with pax because of Alpha Zoulou restriction.

    Thanks to “Dean F” and “ANGPHO” for the above pics.
    We look for such pics for the website :

    I don’t think it would be allowed to wear a swastika in France, ……

    It’s “verboten” in Germany, but allowed in France. Some aged people may not appreciate an aircraft wearing swatiska.
    Wait and See for the reply 😉
