I am trying to establish if Serial Number N6175 was ever allocated to a Blenheim IV, as there is conflicting information in books and on the internet.
Evidence suggests that there was no such aircraft, so what I am trying to do is find conclusive ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS which prove that a Blenheim was built, allocated N6175 and allocated to an RAF Squadron.
There is no movement card at the RAF Museum and as I say, information in books is conflicting, many appearing to mix up N6175 and N6176 (which crashed in the same location on the same day?).
Any help to solve this mystery would be much appreciated
Regards
Pete

Thanks Martin
That certainly concurs with my thinking and that of a representative of the Bristol Aero Collection Trust who has searched remaining production records and confirms that “RAF tail number N6175 was never applied to a Bristol Blenheim built at the Filton, Bristol factory.”

According to “British Military Aircraft Serials 1911-1971” – N (second series)
N6140-6242 100 Bristol Blenheim IV N6140-6174, 6176-6220, 6223-6242 These are exactly 100!
Guess, there is no such serial 6175 for a Blenheim
