That would presumably mean we are looking for two other aircraft to be SR16 and SR17.

I read Pride of Eagles[ again today it says 4 Audax's in Rhodesia - 2 at RAF Heliopolis and 1 at Malakal (South Sudan?) -> Arrived at part of ferry flight #2
there were 5 in First Ferry - one damaged at Malakal
2 aircraft in second Ferry (one upside down Lusaka) plus repaired one fromv Malakal
So 7 Audax in total but one may never have arrived
