Photos of both aircraft.

I concur with Taz's statement above. Where was 152/17 at this point in time and was it the only other all red tri-plane (albeit it was only all red later in its service life)? If 152/17 was not at LeChelle or was not all red at that stage then 425/17 was the only all red tri-plane there. 477/17 was far from all red at the time it was photographed.

Dan-San you do not seem to be able to comprehend the fact that just because 425/17 had no reported victories prior to the 19th does not mean it didn't exist or was not flown by MvR, although you could argue a case for the latter. Hanger queen or not it doesn't matter, it looks as though the aircraft was personalised for MvR at the factory.

Dan-San, are you still of the opinion that MvR's combat reports are fake?
