Hello Andy
Perhaps the author found a 765(c) or C of I Form which have engine numbers listed, some in AVIA 5 too, but I expect you have seen all those before. One chap on the Forum managed to get 765(c) information from the AHB.
There seems to be a few manuals in AIR 10 and documents for a "Lancaster" with "Engine*" search, normally standard manuals though. But I once found a printed WW2 Cyclone Engine manual in the "DR" class with some additional typed sheets stapled in, with a history and problems of the engine.
There are some files in AVIA 15 relating to particular engine types installed in certain aircraft, perhaps the author got lucky and found a list?
I think I have seen the odd Loss Card with an engine/s number on it?
The no engine number/s on the AM1180 and AM78 is a problem, especially when you find references to faulty engine batch numbers in AM or AVIA files!
