Re: Rolls Royce Merlin Engines
Each RAF airframe had an AM78 and most still survive. However, all of those AM78s for (then) surviving Spitfires were stolen from AHB in the 1970/80s and have never been recovered although there are many who have more than a strong idea where they went.
That aside, the existing AM 78s for all Merlin equipped aircraft mostly show the engine number the aircraft was fitted with, although only at manufacture/delivery. Sometimes, however, no engine number was recorded - as with P7386.
The record card otherwise lists the various units, damage, repairs etc etc to the airframe.
Good luck with your project. You have your work cut out and I am by no means sure as to the eventual value of the exercise.
