The Vampire survivors thread: rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/2390/rnzaf-vampire-survivors
got me thinking about the differences between the FB.5 & FB.9.
The FB.9 was modified for service in the tropics and had a refrigeration unit fitted which meant the starboard wing fillet was extended by (I think) some 9 inches.
Some of our FB.5's arrived with this extended wing fillet which, I assume, was because of replacement wings being fitted prior to arrival.
So I thought I would list these as FB.5 or FB.9 to aid modellers.
If you can add to the list it would be greatly appreciated.
Hope this helps.
