As it is in the book..
N3277 485 FF 5-01-40 MU 15-01-40 243s 15-4-40 reported shot down nr IoW, Was dam and f/ld in cherbourg france, 15-8-40 P/O Hardy PoW a/c had daimler benz engine fitted.
So it was converted to 100 oct, thanks.
Just an aside, reading through all the serial numbers is quite sobering..
I usually just find a particular a/c but when you just read line after line of P/O 'Smith' etc kld, FTR and so on for page after page it brings it home to me some how.
Anyway thanks again.

No problem.
So if N3277 was captured on the 15th of August 1940, it couldn't be the one used in the tests Kurfurst quoted, which were carried out on the 10th August 1940.
