Except for the fact that as far as I know, the four digit numbers are not used by the Austrians. In official documents they only list the two letter, two digit serials (thus YA-01 for example). But I know this is an ongoing discussion probably without a definitive answer.frank kramer wrote:No, you don't have to see the aircraft from the inside (would be nice, though). The full serial of Austrian Saab 105's is in the range 1101-1140; these serials are derived from the construction numbers, ranging from 105401 to 105440. Each aircraft was given a colour code and an individual letter when first delivered to the Austrian air force. The first ten aircraft were Yellow A (1101) to Yellow J (1110); then came Green A (1111) to Green J (1120), then Red A (1121) to Red J (1130) and the final ten were Blue A (1131) to Blue J (1140). That system has not changed since the aircraft were delivered. The aircraft do not change codes or colours. Blue F has always been 1136 (or, in other words, 1136 has always been Blue F) and will remain so until it crashes, is scrapped or otherwise demolished. The colour and individual letter are NEVER transferred to another aircraft.
I found another plate in the cockpit. But i was searching for a picuter of the plate on the fuselageJaap wrote:A picture of the cockpit plate (of GD-14) is shown on the Scramble Wiki pagesspotter4life wrote:Have you got a picture of such a plate?Arnold ten Pas wrote: ...On the fuselage, near the tail, there is a small see-through peace of plastic (or similar material), that reveals the serials...
