Re: Handley Page Hampden AE134 serial number

EEP stands for English Electric which license built a substantial number of Hampdens.
The general consensus so far is that most British military aircraft did not get any construction numbers or manufacturer's serial numbers . What was applied was airframe numbers and/or part numbers.
I am somewhat hesitant to that, but so far I have not seen any lists which would confirm for example any English Electric factory numbers.
If I have understood the problem correctly there were never any c/n or msn given in any contracts with the British MoD?
However there were exceptions to this rule. De Havilland for instance always gave their aircraft a true c/n.
