Hey Lucky,
Was reading this thread from the beginning and got to the post about Marseille flying a Yellow 13. Have to go away to work for 6 days and where I am, the internet is sketchy. I don't know if you have resolved the issue yet(will continue reading when I get back) but here is a clipping from a book stating he did indeed fly a yellow 13 if only to make it his 5th crash landing,
I tried to email this to you but me and emails don't get along. Ignore this if it's already been dealt with.
