All I found in the 1970 issues of 'Blackbushe Aviation Review' are the codes: 4-7, 4-11, 4-15 and 4-19. No 'filling in' of the serials in any of the subsequent issues for that year.

I found them somewhere they were 4-7 MM6648, 4-11 MM6638, 4-15 MM6515, 4-19 MM6545. Hope this helps. a321.

Hi Chris K

I was there the day & remember these 4 sitting over the back well out of the way

WLAG Bentwaters report in the June 1970 magazine reported
4-7 MM6648, 4-11 MM ???? 4-15 MM6515, 4-18 MM6545

but note 4-18 not 4-19

further more in correspondence with an Italian researcher in 2004
he told me that 4-18 was MM6645 not MM6545

Thanks Precinct 7 I also had code 18 logged and 66 is easy to read off as 65 at a distance.Chris k
