Bristol Blenheim's
Hello,
Not sure how if at all the following info that I have matched up will help with finding RAF serial numbers of the Finnish AF Blenheims, or indeed the Manufacturers serial numbers to match any RAF serial number . Greek AF RAF - Civil - Bristol Serial Serial L6670 L8384 L8385 L6658 P4910 - G-AFXD - 9392 P4911 - G-AFXE - 9393 P4915 - G-AFXF - 9397 P4916 - G-AFXG - 9398 P4921 - G-AFXH - 9403 P4922 - G-AFXI - 9404 P6891 - G-AFXJ - 9416 P6892 - G-AFXK - 9417 P6897 - G-AFXL - 9422 P6898 - G-AFXM - 9423 P6903 - G-AFXN - 9428 P6904 - G-AFXO - 9429 Yugoslavia RAF - Civil Yugo Serial L6813 L6814 L6817 L6818 - YU-BAR-60 L6819 - YU-BAS-61 L6821 - YU-BAQ-59 L6822 - YU-BAT-62 L6823 - YU-BAE-47 L6824 - YU-BAD-46 L6825 - YU-BAA-43 L6826 - YU-BAR-44 L6827 - YU-BAC-45 L6828 - YU-BAL-54 L6829 - YU-BAM-55 L6830 - YU-BAP-58 L6831 - YU-BAN-56 L6832 - YU-BAO-57 L6833 L6834 - YU-BAF-48 - YU-BAG-49 - YU-BAH-50 - YU-BAI-51 - YU-BAJ-52 - YU-BAK-53 Parts were sold by Germany to Finland late in the War. Also One (Serial unknown as yet) defected to Hungary to be coded J-104 in the Hungarian AF. Some (Quantity ?) also were later to be used by the Croatian AF. Rumania RAF - Rumanian Serial Serial L6696 L6697 L6698 L6699 L6700 L6701 L6702 L6703 L6704 L6705 L6706 L6707 L6708 L6713 L6714 L6715 L6716 L6717 L6718 L8603 L8604 L8605 L8606 L8607 L8608 L8619 L8620 L8622 L8624 L8625 L8626 L8627 L8628 L8629 L8630 L8632 L8652 L8653 L8654 Turkey RAF...........Civil..........Turkish........Bristo l Serial.........................serial..........ser ial ................................2501...........815 5 ................................2502...........815 6 .............G-AFFP.........2503...........8157 .............G-AFFR.........2504...........8158 .............G-AFFS.........2505...........8159 .............G-AFFT.........2506...........8160 .............G-AFFU.........2507...........8161 .............G-AFFV.........2508...........8162 .............G-AFFW........2509...........8163 .............G-AFFX.........2510...........8164 .............G-AFFY.........2511...........8165 .............G-AFFZ.........2512...........8166 .............G-AFLA.........2513...........9222 .............G-AFLB.........2514...........9223 .............G-AFLC.........2515...........9224 .............G-AFLD.........2516...........9225 .............G-AFLE.........2517...........9226 .............G-AFLF.........2518...........9227 .............G-AFLG.........2519...........9228 .............G-AFLH.........2520...........9229 .............G-AFLI..........2521...........9230 .............G-AFLJ..........2522...........9231 .............G-AFLK..........2523...........9232 .............G-AFLL..........2524...........9233 .............G-AFLM.........2525...........9234 .............G-AFLN.........2526...........9235 .............G-AFLO.........2527...........9236 .............G-AFLP.........2528............9237 .............G-AFLR.........2529............9238 .............G-AFLS.........2530............9239 Portugal RAF Serial R2775 R2781 R3623 R3830 N3544 N3600 T2431 T2434 V5429 V5434 V5501 V5729 V5883 V6395 Z7492 Plus at least five more. Finland 18 a/c BL104 - OH-IBA through to BL121 - OH-IBR I do not think that these a/c were ever given RAF serial numbers as I ubderstand that they were delivered straight from the Factory to Finland. and 12 a/c G-EZIN - BL122 - OH-IPA through to G-EZIY - BL-133 - OH-IPL These I expect were the First Mk IV's delivered from January 1940. RAF serial numbers were L9025 L9026 L9028 L9195 L9196 L9197 L9198 L9199 L9200 L9201 L9202 L9203 One of these was lost over the North Sea on the delivery flight. Can anyone match these RAF serials to either the Civil or Finnish serials please ? Then 12 a/c G-EZAA - BL134 - OH-IPA through to G-EZAL - BL145 - OH-IPL These are said to be those that included RAF srerial numbers - L1345 L1347 L1354 L1362 Eight more serial numbers required to completye this batch. And then for one Force G-AFCE - 8814 G-AFCF - 8815 Refs: were Scramble Turkish Military Aircraft since 1912 Air Britain books K-File; L1000 to N9999;P1000 to R9999;T1000 to V9999; W1000 to Z9999. Air Enthusiast Bi monthly RAF Serial Numbers and Civil codes welcome as is any info that will hepl match the numbers for those Finnish a/c. Many Thanks for any help.
