Does anyone have any WWII British Aircraft Data Sheets (ADS) they can post here? Or provide links to?

These are the ADS (Aircraft Data Sheets) that I have.

The date is the year of the ADS
AC is from the Armoured Carriers website
NS is from Neil Stirling via tomo pauk
SP is from the Spitfire Performance website
WW2AP is from the WWII Aircraft Performance website
n means there is no Mark specified
? means I do not remember where I got them

Updated my lists in the original post.

Thank you tomo pauk and Neil Stirling

Thanks for the attempt Vincenzo, but the links go to an error 404 page.

Hey Mike Williams, thanks for the attempt, but the links go to a domain registration page instead of the usual www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org website.

I believe those links are for the RAF 2-engined bombers' data sheets. I've re-posted these here: link
 
Thank you tomo pauk and Neil Stirling, again.

Thank you other guys also, again.:)

This type of info is very helpful for me when I try to work out various aspects of the aircraft, including resolving contradictory data.

Agreed!

This type of info is very helpful for me when I try to work out various aspects of the aircraft, including resolving contradictory data.

Regarding contradictions, the ADS for the Halifax III, under the 'Range -- Bomb Load Table' lists a total of 1,986 ImG of fuel with "perm. full tanks". Yet according to the Pilot's Notes for the Halifax III/VII, the aircraft has a capacity of 1,806 ImG. If an auxiliary tank is fitted into each wing bomb bay (with each tank holding 96 ImG), that brings the total fuel up to 1,998 ImG, which still doesn't agree with the ADS. The ADS for the Halifax VII lists a total of 2.190 ImG with "perm. tanks full."

I would presume the Pilot's Notes are more authoritative in such instances of contradictory figures.
 
Anyone seen the Tempest Mk VI ADS?

It seems curious that the increase of boost from Sabre IIA to IIB (+9lb to +11lb) for the Tempest V gave a Vmax increase of 8mph, (to 435),
& the Tempest Mk VI with Sabre VA had double that increase to +15lb, yet is usually quoted as capable of 438mph, only 3mph faster?

There is a speed/height graph showing the annular-radiator experimental Tempests, & this includes a curve marked "Standard Tempest 6",
but this one was powered by a Sabre VII with an extra +2.25lb (+17.25lb) & was duly recorded as making 455mph, at ~ the same height,
as the Mk Vs, so something appears a bit odd.
