Yeah, BF274 and BS428 are the serial numbers of the aircraft. As far as i can determine, they provide a number of aircraft with the same specifications to basically generate an idea of an 'average' performance. Removes the odd abberation of an exceptionally high or exceptionally low performing aircraft.
GBrutus - Yeah, always enjoyed that book. Annoyed that I can't find my copy. Gotta love those Whirlwind shots on that site though. If you're interested in Typhoons, another book you could look for is I think called Mosquito, Typhoon, Tempest. But I can't remember who wrote it. Wing Commander Beamont is one of the authors in any case. Can have a look who wrote it when i get home if you like. Some awesome shots of Typhoons in particular in that book.
