A total of 21 Bloch 131 were captured. Most of them were scrapped. At least one Bloch 131, among those found on land during the German offensive, was taken for evaluation and carried German cross. Photographs taken at Paris show Bloch 131 coded "1" on the sides of the fuselage, and still bearing its military registration under the wings. The pictures do not let you read it completely, but i starts with "L-3" and ends with "6". which leaves a few possibilities, starting with the number 81 "L-336". It seems that the number A is captured and painted in German colors, but no confirmation has been made. Finally a photo taken in haste at the Cerqueux camp 1941-42 also shows several silhouettes with German cross on the fuselage, only one could be identified, the number 120.
