Slightly off topic of Robs work, but I just looked up my fathers ATA logbook & found that between October '44 & Sept '45 he ferried 51 Barracudas, most are not type designated, but his summary showed they were Mk II & MkIII.
The only thing I remember him remarking about the Barra was to make sure the wing fold pins were secure - apparently he witnessed a take off crash where they were not in position.
