Missing Southern Rhodesia Air Force serials SR14-SR21?

If the extra two were SR14 and SR15, that doesn't leave enough blank serials for three Gauntlets.

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

Cheers,

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
