In RAF Aircraft AA100 to AZ999 by J J Halley this is stated to have
served with 1 IAF (Indian Air Force) and then SOC 12.44 and is now
listed as 'preserved'. The only Indian Hurricane preserved is listed
as being displayed as 'AP832' at the Indian AF Musuem, Palam AB, New
Dehli. This is an incorrect serial for a Hurricane as it is in
a 'black out block' for a bunch that went to Russia. So the question
is... Is 'AP832' really AP932. This could be a common 'painting'
error (BTW it is now currently painted as AB832, so this error could
be continuing!)

I was wondering if anybody could supply the info as to why Air
Britain Serials thinks AP932 is 'preserved'.
