Hawker Tempest MW741

In the Warbird Registry, Hawker Tempest MW741 is "labeled" as a Mk.V, is that correct? I suspect that it should be "labeled" as a Mk.II!

That is correct. The serial number ties in with the Mk.II's, and there are only two known Mk.V survivors, EJ693 and NV778. It is most likely that MW741 was scrapped anyway, sadly.
