Re: V-1 flying bombs

Fossum's "G" was a Mk. XIX,serial MM648.Mk. XVII VY-C was HK299,"L" was HK347,"R" was HK349.Another Mk. XIX VY-J was TA400.For the other letters I have no serials to tie up with,especially the "B"-Flight machines as no Norwegians were posted to this flight.
I've had access to some 8 or 9 logbooks belonging to Norwegians of 85 Sqn.They served mostly over a long timeperiod,spanning the phase-out/phase-in of the various Mossie versions,i.e. Mk.XII/XIII to XVII,XVII to XIX,XIX to XXX.As the planes were mostly delivered in batches of 3-5 planes at a time,it could possibly be a project to check the various movement card dates versus the first mentioned dates in the ORB.Let's say that the first mention of a new mark VY-A and B ("A"-flight) and VY-L and M ("B"-flight) and we have already identified A and L,there would be a 50% chance of hitting the serials of B and M.
