Mohawks
According to Brit Mil Aircraft serials by Bruce Robertson,the ex French Mohawks were diverted to Portugal,South Africa among others, some did enter RAF service, however I am not sure where.
I do recall reading in Control Column that Oficer Cadets recovered the remains of two wrecks from Larkhill ranges in the early 1970s. I understood these were at the time said to be P40s.
Sadly along with Mickle Fell Stirling and Fairey Battle parts these recovered items of wreckage were sent to a civil scrap yard at Baldock when a clear out of RAF Henlow Museum stored items took place in the later seventies.
That really highlights the need to have a plan in place when recovering wrecks, many items have been disposed of because those in charge of storage locations had no involvment with the historical reasons for recovery and treated the wreckage as useless untidy scrap.
