Re: Halifax help needed

I'm not sure the serial would have helped that much, as the Z mods were applied in service. I don't know if the dorsal turret started disappearing before the nose fairing, let alone the lesser stuff such as landing lights, but the date is fairly indicative that she was "as delivered", especially with the back-up of the photo. Maybe there are other photos of 405 in this period, but I didn't go dredging for them.

Re: Halifax help needed

Hi

Found in a book of mine, that sister ship W7710, LQ-R also of sqn 405 RCAF, was a B. II series I, w. original nose and mid upper turret. So its fits perfectly in w. Grahams info, that W7707 was a B. II series I.

Cheers

Nick
