Seems it wore the code ANV when flying with ALAT (Aviation legere de l’Armee de Terre) in 1961.
There is the military story of your Broussard there :

Could it be a Cessna Airmaster perhaps?

Like that idea – but maybe earlier models like C-34, C-37, C-38, or a C-145 with 145hp.
But can’t find any connection between Cessna Airmaster and crop-dusting…

Thanks for that hint!

47* 08′ 40″ N and 152* 14′ 29″ E links to Bukhta Broutona, Broutona Bay – maybe you’re right!

edit: you’re right!
Now I just found this:
“The Lindberghs spent a rough night in the wave-rocked Sirius, waking in the morning to find the ship Shinshuru Maru, sent by the Japanese government, standing by to assist them. Sailors helped Lindbergh repair the plane and then towed it to the calm waters of Brouton Bay.”

The elevator tips have the following “DO NOT PUSH HERE” top and botom , read facing inboard.

On closer inspection of the drawings there are a dozen or more markings indicated on the drawings that are not listed in the text/key. These corespond to the markings on the RNZAF Beaver. Not all the TB markings appear on the RNZAF Beaver, such as the door handle instructions, “NO PUSH” on the rudder, strut serial numbers, to name a couple.

Thanks, Barf!

Yes, I am aware of the ‘Flight’ report but I believe that I’ve seen a ‘side on’ photograph of the Bibi at Wilmington and if that belief is correct, I cannot think that this was anywhere other than in ‘The Aeroplane’. But there’s always the possibility that my belief is incorrect!

Les Ailes N°928 , 30/3/1939 ???

edit: delete image – a better one at #45

Hi Folks,
I have had some success, managed to track down the number for the US Army manual for the schemes and markings for the U-6 Beaver.
Tech Bulitin TB 746-93-2. We have a copy in our archives. This has nearly all the info I need but anything else will be appreciated.
Damn thing was right under our noses but it was’nt until I managed to find the TB number that I could find it.
Cheers

“I need to know what the markings are on the top & bottom surfaces of the elevator tips. From grainy photos I can see that it is four words on a single line.”

And now – what have you found in the TB?

http://www.paratrooper-museum.org/fr/Collection_fr.html Avion C-47
“Description: Douglas DC-3, C-47.
Origin: HBO mini-series ‘Band of Brothers’.
Date acquired : May, 2004.
This C-47 fuselage, which has recently been acquired by the CHC, was one of the props used in the filming of the TV mini-series ‘Band of Brothers’, and retains a very ‘well-worn’ look. It was used extensively in most of the D-day scenes.
It is currently being converted into a ‘walk-through’ exhibit, coupled with a full-motion flight simulator to allow you the unique opportunity of experiencing a D-day flight.”
