Hi Joe,

I see you have the dates that these aircraft went to the Navy, I'm wondering if you have the dates they were accepted by the Air Force? I can tie up the acceptence dates by the USAF to the USN serials, for eg

155918 QT-33AX 23/04/1956
155919 QT-33AX 07/08/1956
155920 QT-33AX 11/06/1954
155921 QT-33AX 08/04/1957
155922 QT-33AX 07/09/1954
155923 QT-33AX 22/10/1956
155924 QT-33AX 30/10/1956

Sid,

Sounds like a plan, but not an ironclad tie up. I do not have the USAF dates, and will have to look for them. Pretty interesting info, but I am sure several airplanes were delivered on same day. What do you think? Actually it looks like it has a possibility of being a pretty good match.

JOE
