Hi Mark,

I am researching history on a particular Humber A/c, which bears the data plate of a MkIV.........but, the census number precedes that of the first one on your list, F118739, by about 50 or so. I had noted photos of MkIII A/cars with later numbers than MkIV. If you have any other records of Humber A/cars with number starting F118***, I would be interested.

Many thanks,
Richard

I knew I had seen a picture off one off the Dingo´s mentioned in the list.
And here it is.

It was used on the raid off Dieppe in 1942.
As you can see it didn´t had the C prefix to the number here either.

I am sure others on the list were used as well during this raid.

Cheers,

Danny
