Re: Pilot of Hurricane L1639?

As I am sure you will have found, often times serial numbers were incorrectly recorded from crash sites and this might sometimes have been due to damage caused in the crash and from fire etc. Also, quite often reports quoted the aircraft number which was actually a part number found on a piece of wreckage or engine etc. So, this could be the case here I suppose. It might also be a case of looking at how all the numbers might have been misread...eg a 2 for a 3 an 8 for a 0 or a 7 for a 5 or a 6 for and 8.....etc etc etc.

So many permutations.....!! But then I am trying to teach an already well experienced researcher and investigator.
