Re: Martlets' identities?
Hello Brian,
Details from AB's FAA Aircraft 1939-1945.
Seems that these aircraft were part of the Greek order that was delivered to the Middle East and then diverted to the Royal Navy at Suez in April 41. Bu Aer Nos: 3875 to 3904, c/n's 757 to 786.
Survivors were believed numbered in the "AX" series so may have been between "AX757" to "AX786" ?
So if the numbers were used and if they ran in sequence -
3890 would become 772 and then AX772.[ this number was used for a captured Me110].
3895 would become 777 and then AX777.[This number was used for a CaudronC.620].
3898 would become 780 and then AX780.
BUT, AB's AA100-AZ999 has:
AX725-747;AX753,754;AX761;AX824-829 for Martlet I's.
I think it more likely that they just might have only carried the Bu Aer Nos ?
