All ‘Known’ Battle parts in Canada are listed in Warbirds Directory Vol 4 and all have been Identified with RAF/RCAF Serials – If you knew where it came from in Canada…. Roughly – Not saying owner – but maybe location then if it is one of them listed in the book then the serial will be known

p.s.
Mike -if you read my post I didnt say it would carry a Bu No – I said ‘contract number/ bu no EQUIVALENT’

Ie a government order reference.

I know what a Bu No is!

Hi TT , did this data plate come from an engine mount/cockpit frame is there any AID inspectors stamps on it . The data plate should have an assembly name eg engine mount / cockpit etc , the date should be stamped along with AID inspection stamps.
One of the engine mounts that i have has the following ,

FM 31119
PA 32284
Date 1 2 39

Assuming that the ‘FM’ number is a contract number , i have not being able to find any paperwork to link contract munber to RAF serial , i was of the opinion that the date was when it was inspected by the AID inspector.

The ‘PA’ number is i feel the part/assembly number as the battle had PA PD and PC part prefix

The main constructors data plate , which would carry the RAF serial was located on the wing centre section in the rear cockpit.

Hope this helps , happy to share any other info you may need.

cheers dave
