Dassault M.D.311 Flamant
(c/n 259)
The M.D.311 was the first of three versions of the Flamant
built for the Armee de l'Air. They were
used from 1949 until
the mid 1960s. The 311 was the bombing, navigation and
photography trainer.
Now, since total production of all
three models is given as: M.D.311 = 39; M.D.312 =
142;
and M.D.315 = 137, and since this
M.D.311 is No.259, I can only assume that they were built
concurrently on the
production
line and that the c/ns were given for the series, and not for each
sub-
variant.
