Aircraft part numbers

Posted by Elliott on Thu Nov 27, 2003 06:09:00 PM

Ever come across a mystery aircraft part and wondered what type it was from? I do all the time - I wonder if people would be interested in adding to this list of aircraft part number prefixes... maybe we can get a list going...? Would be great for reference...


Prefix Aircraft type
SP Armstrong Whitworth Whitley
AW Armstrong Whitworth (various types)
300 Supermarine Spitfire I
329 Supermarine Spitfire II
349 Supermarine Spitfire V
52 Handley Page Hampden
57 Handley Page Halifax
32 Consolidated Liberator
22 Lockheed Lightning
98 Dehavilland Mosquito

I'm sure that there are many variations etc but it could become a useful guide...

Anyone know how North American parts are numbered?

Cheers
