Vraa84 is on a distinguished road
272 sqn. beau trouble

Hi all.

http://www.marinefoundation.org/beaufighter-1.jpg
This picture appears in Chaz Bowyer's "Beaufighter at war".

The text states that it is a Mk VIc serialed V8638.

Now here is the problem. V8638 was VIF. Furthermore in the photo it looks like it has the strait tail plans of the early mark.
Also in "beaufighter in action" by jerry scott there is a drawing of this aircraft, this time with the dihedral tailplans and serialed T9068, a serial that acording to Victor Bingham's "Bristol Beaufighter" appendix 2 was not given to any Beau.

Any help apreciated.

Cheer nick
