Does anyone know of a website that has all the RAF, RN FAA, RFC and RNAS aircraft serial numbers?
It’s esy to find the US ones which I use all the time, but I haven’t found a UK one yet. :confused:

Thought it might be a bit like that 🙁

Think this was mentioned a while ago, but the answer is the same: if you are after just numbers then there are sites around giving batches – don’t know of anything giving all at once though.
If you are after serials and fates then join Air Britain and buy their various serials of the RAF books, plus those copies of the RNAS (WWI), FAA of the RAF (inter-war), and FAA of the RN (WWII) serial books that are still available.
The only group really able to put this info on the web is Air Britain, and since they are a more or less voluntary group supported by its members subscriptions it is hardly going to have the manpower or finances to do such a task unless it is at a hugh cost to the user; so I’d imagine it is a far off dream for us enthusiasts…

Not a website obviously, but British military aircraft serials 1878-1987 compiled by Bruce Robertson (Midland Counties) has a complete list.
If you’re looking for something that gives a potted history of each aircraft, then I’m not aware of one book or website that has it all.
If there is one, I’d love to hear of it too, especially for WW II RAF aircraft.
