February 2019 Updates

[Brendan Cowan]

We have added 3 Sqn Kittyhawk II (P-40L) FS943 to the relevant Kittyhawk page:

RAF Serialled Kittyhawks

An image has also been added to the gallery.

Thanks to Ed Russell, Gordy Birkett, and Martin Edwards for the ongoing research into this one.

We still have a long way to go on this page and it has been one of our longer term projects to complete this information for you.

Cheers

Nice find

Thanks to a very reliable source - we have been able to update some of the latest allocations of A Numbers as follows:

A50 Aerosonde UAV
A51 Not yet Allocated (But ADF-Serials still speculate that it cold be the G550/MC-55)
A55 Not yet Allocated
A56 Reserved for CL604 Challenger Replacement
A57 Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton (Not A50 as previously recorded)
A58 Possibly Reserved for MQ-9 Reaper or MQ-9B Skygaurdian

These have been reflected on the Series Three Index Page.

I have also thrown together a quick page on the A50 Aerosonde in DSTO and Army Service.

As always additional information, photos and corrections are welcome.

Cheers

Housekeeping:
RAAF Lockheed Ventura 459 & 464 Sqn, RAAF page, updated to show Ventura AE939 correctly coded as SB-G. It is incorrectly coded as SB-C in some other sources.
Duplicate image links removed from the page.

464 Squadron Lockheed Ventura gallery descriptions also updated to reflect the changes, with duplicate images removed.

Updated the Norsemen page as the entries had links to grave images on a domain that no longer exists. Removed the image links.

Hi All,

I've just done a complete re-write of the Avro Manchester page to include lots of new information.

Please let me know if I've missed anything.
