OK. THX Just wasn't sure. I'm a little bit tired.

Unfortunately none of these posted in the OP and my posts here is of the large tailplanes. The large one had the leading edge of the stabilizers started at the panel line with stiffeners between the fuselage and the tail part. Usually the stabilizer covered a little bit the Sky tail band. The difference can be noticed in pics below.Because I'm sure the first shot shows the R8762 so it can't be of the large tailplanes.

R8809 Is a Typhoon IB of 247 Sqd. It was built by Gloster between 6-42 and 9-42.

I have it as not getting into squadron service...

Have that in another book Fubar, other book has in to 247 Sqd 1-43.

Possible, 247 squadron had Typhoons from Jan '43-Feb '45 and R8809 was still at A&AEE in January.

Looking for more info on R8809 and came across this Facebook page, Hawker Typhoon RB396 Restoration Lots of stuff there. Use Chorme with the built in translator

 

[Crimea_River]

That's one of my liked pages on FB.

Wonder when it will come with a built-in spellchecker?

Just to add more confusion

Curious that it would be at A&AEE for 2 months, put into squadron service and then return to A&AEE
