That, my friends, is a simple question. Can you, like the spits, know when a Typhoon is out of factory ?? For example, the MN 877. It is known that it was lost on August 19, 44, at 198sq, pilot Francois Bonnet, but when was it built? What I have best comes from an old "Fana": Slice MM 351 / MP 203, produced by Gloster between January and August 44, MN 877 is on the end, June / July, so fairly new to its disappearance. Four blades with large Stabil ... As a corollary, is there a way of knowing when it arrives in a unit ?? Know the exact dates and JANUARY and AUGUST of the beginning and end of production of this unit at GLOSTER?
And please, please, do not say to me as a French friend: "There is one thing that is sure Pierre is that his exit is prior to the date of his loss on August 19, 1944 ..."
