On 1 February 1942 a French mechanic stole this Goéland light twin somewhere in Vichy France and landed it at Tregantle Beach near Plymouth. The aircraft wears blue, white and red bands on the fuselage and wings and lacks the yellow and red Vichy neutrality markings. Apparently it was subsequently transferred to the Free French forces in North Africa. This photo was added on 17 March 2021, and has since been viewed 2209 times. |
