Note, that this is also used by US 37 mm AA gun

294 Bedford (Prime Mover) - the only prime mover Bedford variant was QLB, specialized for 40mm AA guns ['Bedford to Berlin and Beyond' book]. It should be IMO changed to medium tractor AEC Matador. However, both these AT/wheel trucks were introduced around 1941 (I have no precise date for Matador). Now it's available since 1/30, but there were no British AT/wheel tractors before Morris Quad (#104).

I don't know, if the British used 4x2 trucks to tow guns before, or just limbers and limited(?) numbers of early tracked Dragon tractors. There could be added some generic Dragon (http://www.jedsite.info/tractors-del...on-series.html)

309 Centaur IV - a detail, but isn't a better category 129 Close Support Tank instead of Tank? (it's empty as well)

310 M3 SP 75mm SPA - picture is T19 105mm - should be US T30

327 Hawker Fury - photo shows some 2-seater. 110lb bombs are probably too heavy - according to 'Aircraft Profile 018 Hawker Fury' "most aircraft had provisions to for light bomb racks to carry 25lb practice bombs or flares".

330 Blenheim Mk.IV - with armament of 6 MGs it would be fighter Blenheim Mk.IF (more numerous) or MkIVF. (I don't think, that these variants were often used for strafing anyway)

340-342 Hawker Hart, Hind - crew was 2, if it matters.
Same notes as for availability, as 237 Hind.

350, 351 Spitfire Mk.IA, Vb - photo is some late variant (IX/XVI), with trimmed LF wings.
It's a detail, but first two Spitfires were delivered in 7/38 (now 6/38), and only in 12/38 there was a full squadron (No.19) (the Spitfire Story book). I wouldn't expect wasting such precious fighter for MG-strafing, BTW, especially for Mk.IA.

352 Spitfire MkVIII - it's better to rename it Mk.V C - most popular at that time, and used with bombs since 8/42 (date is correct). First VIIIs were built in 11/42 and were less popular variant.

353 Spitfire Mk.IXe - better photo IMO is 30025.
"e" wing with 2 cannons and 2x0.5in appeared in summer 44 only (now 3/43) [The Spitfire Story]
