F15a Finally!

[Tony Smith]

Ian, if the F15A is ex-RAAF, it wont be in the AWM's lists of ARN's (ARMY Registration Number). There is a whole chunk of Blitzes that are ex-RAAF (F30, C60X, etc) that the records are lost to time.

IF you do find an ARN, go to the research centre and ask to see the 127 series books.

As you can see, there are records here for over 200,000 vehicles, so it would be a much happier outcome if you could find the first digits of the ARN rather than the last digits!
