Opps. Looking back at this.. How about Production Number then??

Yep. Factory build reference number maybe.

Methinks this is not the construction number.

1126 = Construction Number
FF = First Flown
MU = Maintenance Unit

Thanks Paul.

I got the lettered abbr’s, just couldn’t find the key to the number after the reg’.

I’ve had this book for a “Couple a Three” years now, and was working on the fact the numbers were the construction number but couldn’t find the actual reference.

Hope you don’t mind me “Jumping in”, but from above book…

X4410 1126 FF 9-9-40, 24 MU 10-9-40, 72Sqn 17-9-40, Sht/Dwn by Bf109 nr Ashford kent, P/O Holland aban a/c kld 20-9-40.

A quick question of my own, if I may…

Could someone tell me what the “Code” numbers that appear in this book,directly AFTER the reg’ number represents (The 1126, in this case. I’ve not managed to work that one out yet)? :confused:

Many Thanks in advance.
