Sorry H, I didn't get time to look properly. I've got some profiles and pics of Bs and Cs though, so I'll post them in your thread soon, along with their P47s, used before they re-equipped with Mustangs.

Sorry old boy, they're the only ones I managed to get of the '109s. I got talking to one of the guys there, and had to move on to get the Viggen pics, on the other side of the hangar.
