Photo Comment
One of the 75 aircraft ordered by France and diverted to the UK following the fall of France to the Germans. This 75 were divided into completed aircraft in full French specifications that needed to be modified to RAF specifications and those that came off the production line to RAF specs. Notably, the RAF wanted Pratt and Whitney Wasp engines and not the Wright Cyclones the French preferred. AH703 served operationally in the Middle East.
