Re: "M" Numbers ?
Hello Paul,
Many thanks.
It would seem that some a/c with "M" numbers were at some stage in their lives given new later "M" numbers - any ideas as to why this was done ?
I also came up with one a/c in the 2100-2200 block that had two numbers, W Wallace K3677 had 2118M and also 2135M, but at the same time ?
Looking at the "J" series I have only found one -so far - in the 500 range but still looking for more.
From the info in AB's RN Instructional Airframes it would seem that the "M"'s started from January 1921 with "1M" and that early numbers were destroyed at some point.
It gets a bit muddy with the "S" series rebuilds when they became "SR" but were the "M" numbers allotted to these a/c issued before the rebuilds or after ?
Many thanks for your time and the detailed reply.
I look forward to this new AB Book, thanks for the notice.
Thank You,
Alex
