Really good stuff coming up in this thread. As langdon implied I think each author has done their best to interpret the info at hand at the time of writing!
I too thought 152/17 was used more heavily, but again aren't we looking at aircraft mentioned in reports when victories were scored? The condition of the covering of the prop and engine are mentioned in Imries book, and as Langdon has stated Imrie believes this indicates an aircraft out of service for whatever reason!Doesn't seem to make much sense if 477/17 is the current mount and the all Red aircraft IS 477/17! Just my 02 cents worth,
