Hi Redroof

I think the silence says it, unfortunately. There is no method that I am aware of to match component serials to aircraft, you have to bear in mind that not only was such record keeping not the most efficient use of time or manpower but also there were spares holdings, allowing for field replacements and swap-outs – making tracing of parts after all this time largely impossible. It would be like knowing the manufacturers serial number of a wheel and trying to find out the VIN.. on a 70 year old car.

However, I stand, as always, to be corrected – I know little of the specifics of Swordfish and the FAA in this area.

PS Any other interesting relics in the collection?
