Re: FAA Fairey Albacore "T9916" found 1970
If the second digit were wrong the only option would be T9216, but that serial was in a security block (T9216 to T9230) and not used.
How about T9169: lost in bad weather en route between SS Cochin and RNARY Coimbatore, 26 July 1942, Sub. Lt. JA Pickard, RNZN killed? (Sturtivant ‘s Fleet Air Arm Aircraft 1939-1945) . However John Pickard is still listed by CWGC as commemorated on the Devonport NZ Naval memorial i.e. has no known grave – which is a bit odd if the aircraft was found 40 years ago.
