Gloster Mars VI Nighthawk Royal Hellenic
Army?
The
Gloster Mars VI was actually a Nieuport Nighthawk built under licence,
with some minimal
enhancements. At least one of the
54 built was supplied to Greece and I suspect that the image
acquired from Glosters in the late 1940s
(above) may depict that machine, possibly prior to its
acquiring full Greek
insignia. I would appreciate confirmation of this by any
viewer. Power was
supplied by a 325 hp Bristol Jupiter III
and the single seat fighter had twin Vickers machine guns
in the nose.
