Alex,
Very minor point, Mohawk AR666 was a IV according to the relevant Air-Britain serials book:
AR630/AR634 Mohawk III
AR635/AR694 Mohawk IV

Thanks Andy,
Mohair IV is correct, definitely was not a Mohair III :)
I just cannot seem to print out what I actually type, the tablet seems to change words at will.
All the best
Alex
Oops see what I mean, it did it again ....

Mohawk IV not Mohair III.

Maybe this time
