Hawker Typhoon serials

Dear Forum

Trying to find the history of the following Typhoons, all belonging at some point to 137 Sqn. If anybody can help with eventual fates, photos, markings etc, that would be fantastic too!

JR322
MN289
JR305

Much appreciated

From the Air Britain RAF Serials series

JR322 486/198/137/174 Damaged beyond repair in accident 3/10/45. Struck off charge

JR305 263/137 To 5556M 14/9/45

MN289 197/181/137/174 Struck off charge 15/11/45

Perhaps 137 Squadron Record Book might have some photos.

Hope this helps

Thank you CADman, any ideas on a good source of images for these aircraft?

Taken from Hawker Typhoon – The Combat History by Richard Townshend Bickers

JR322 – 486 / 198 / 137 / 174 DBR in accident 03.10.45

JR305 – 263 / 137

MN289 – 197 / 181 / 137 /174

Assuming they are the squadron numbers
