Talk:SNCAC NC.4-10

SNCAC NC.4-10? This designation seems at odds with other contemporary name changes, are there any more references using this form of the designation? Most modern reference sources have just transposed the Farman designation F.410 to NC.410 as happened with all the other Farman aircraft taken over by SNCAC.Petebutt (talk) 20:54, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't find a single reference on the net that refers to the NC4-10 (other than this article). If you can supply evidence that this designation is correct, flying in the face of all other references, then I will not revert the title.Petebutt (talk) 21:03, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I followed Liron's book, from the Docavia series. I am about to go out but will try to refresh the detail in the morning - it's in French, and mine is rusty! Cheers,TSRL (talk) 21:25, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, I've checked back to Liron's book, from 1984. I think this book, from a prestigious series (the nearest French set to the Putnam books on UK stuff) trumps web sites, where so often one author follows another without going back to the source material.  Liron clearly spent a lot of time delving through company records.  If Farman had not been nationalized, the aircraft would have been the F.410.  Liron heads his pages on it with the form F/NC 4-10 but notes in the article that after nationalization it was re-named the NC 4-10 (p.197).  He also adds, in a footnote on the following page that "at SNAC (the Farman site) the notation NC-4 ... was reserved for seaplanes".  I don't know if there were other examples of this use that made it to metal.TSRL (talk) 10:00, 26 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Liron is clearly the most authoritative source here. I've moved it back. --Rlandmann (talk) 12:17, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
