For example RAF Coastal Command's GR.VIs made at Fort Worth were in 29- range; RAF GR.VIIIs in 34-, 45- and 48-, B.VIII 36- and 46-, and RCAF Libs in 37- range. SAAF 31 & 34 Sqn's Libs were in 30- and 43- range.
As far as I remember RAAF's B-24s were either directly purchased from the USA or ex-USAAAF machines and did not have Mcns.
Last but not least (to avoid confusion), there was no '0' digit after '-', and Mcns looked like this: 43-1, 43-11, 43-111.

Hi Zoran!
If i want to dig more and find more about the UK Libs.
Where can these MCN records be found for the RAF Liberators?
In what archives do you recomend? Is it from Maxwell AFB?
