It's what has been reported based on their actual tail numbers. And, yes, there is a bit of swapping of FYs going on.

Many thanks, Alf.

Thought I had changed that after the copy and paste - evidently not.

Re: KC-46A

Think that it must have been only the four (46057-46060) that were transferred to FY21.

46061 to 46065 (so far) all seem to be FY19.

Re: # Bentwaters, Woodbridge, Lakenheath and Mildenhall Jul/Aug 1973 #

66-7606 was w/o 14/08/1973 when with 405TFW and 66-7755 was a Nellis 474TFW bird. So, yes, both of those are suspect.

Also, 66-7781 does not exist. Try 65-0781 which was a WR machine.
