| 43 | Fuling | Unknown | 1940/01/25 | 1940/08/23 | Sold at Singapore? To Wearnes Air Services? | CNAC have been reported as operating two Rapides, with fleet nos. 38 & 43 “Fuling” and a CNAC record shows that “43” was received 1.40 and sold in Singapore, although with the type “Dragon” crossed out and Beech Staggerwing entered in place. A report in the Straits Times for 23.8.40 states that Wearnes Air Services had bought a “practically new” Rapide from CNAC and it would be flown to Singapore by a Chinese pilot “early next month”. This may have been allocated VR-SBG and probably became MVAF “18”.#scite can not be used on a namespace that is not enabled for Semantic MediaWiki |
